The secondary resistance should be the same in both coils.Even if the primary coil wire is shorted that shouldn't make any difference in the secondary winding resistance. The voltage from the electronic ignition isn't that high so you cold wrap the wire where it's exposed with some tape and see if a short to the airbox was a problem. I'd be suspicious of a coil that had deteriorated that much though. I'm not familiar enough with the 1000, can you switch the coils to see if the dead cylinder shifts?
