GL1200 Backfiring/Won't start

What John said, mine had the same symptoms last year! Changed out the pulse generators and no problems since. Pull it apart and also check timing belt alignment. You never know....you can also ohm out the pulse generators under the false tank top left corner , a 4 wire plug- in if I remember correctly. A quick check can verify if it's time to dive into the timing covers. Good luck!

Jim, I purchased mine at Honda. Don't fool around and stick with oem stuff. They were around 86 bucks Canadian when I bought mine last year. In the US, should be cheaper somewhat I'd imagine. They are sold as a pair with a common plug in which hooks up under the false tank. About a 2-3 hour job roughly......4-5 hours if beer involved! :shock:
Good luck sir.
