Attached is a page from manual showing procedure. Lower two pictures. Readings are shown above meter.

 

This is 86-93 manual, RSV will be similar.

Are you disconnecting the coils from the wiring harness? Is the battery in your meter fresh?

 

I seem to remember something about the test procedure using an old analog meter movement as opposed to a digital movement. Try a different meter as well...

digital is all i have and probably needs fresh new batteries since i havent changed them sice i got it brand new 4 yrs. ago

Pulling the large white connector off the TCI and read resistance between the ignition fuse and the connector's pins 2, 3, 6 & 7 for your primary coil resistance.
