Not the connectors

It wasn't the connectors. Took them all apart, cleaned them, dielectric greased them. No change.

I'm fairly certain the battery is in good condition. Nevertheless I will attempt to rule it out by using a shop battery charger/jumper during my next garage session.

And getting back to the coil testing... The factory spec is 650 mili-ohms. NO over the counter multimeter has a resolution that dips into the mili-ohm range. After some research I've discovered that is the realm of dedicated mili-ohm meters. The problem is that the cheapest mili-ohm meter out there is $350 by Extech. Might as well buy coils outright. Still have to make a trip to the dealer to find out if the updated coils for my bike are the same as the ones specked in the 749 factory shop manual.
