From your other posts it's a KZ1000LTD, not a MKII. 1979 KZ1000LTD came from the factory with points ignition. If it's a 1980 that was the first LTD with electronic
Excellent observation by RonKZ650.
If bike at hand is 1979 KZ1000-LTD with oem points ignition replaced with existing electronic ignition, it may be a Dyna-S, which calls for 3 ohm or 4 ohm coils, and no igniter or inline resistor.
Wonder what electronic ignition is now on the bike.
Perhaps Dyna-S, which calls for 3 ohm or 4 ohm coils.
Or conceivably (imo unlikely) a transplanted MKII electronic ignition with igniter and lesser ohm coils with inline resistor.

...another test ride and did the same but there was a new development. first corner I came to the bike signed off restarted normal turned the handle bars and it just signed off again so there has to be a problem in the harness. I will cut it open and take a look. The bike really needs a new harness anyway.
Regardless of exact ignition, the harness issue should be investigated as noted, and correction might alone resolve the performance issue.
Good Luck!
