How do you test a pickup coil on a Yamaha v star classic 650?

To test the pickup coil on a Yamaha V Star Classic 650, first, ensure the motorcycle is off and disconnected from the battery. Use a multimeter set to the ohm (Ω) setting, and measure the resistance across the pickup coil terminals; it should typically be between 200-400 ohms. If the reading is significantly outside this range or shows infinite resistance, the pickup coil is likely faulty and should be replaced. Additionally, you can check for proper signal output while cranking the engine to confirm functionality.
