    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I have no spark on any cylinder and Im thinking that it is the ignitor, but is it possible to have a faulty kill switch, or ignition.

The bike turns over but has no spark.

Can I bypass the ignition and kill switch?
 
Well I did some more testing today, It is not the kill switch or ignition.

But the weird thing is I have 4 ohm resistant from the orange white power wire to battery ground. It seems like that is not correct.

Could it be a bad ground or a wire connected wrong.

it seems like I have some electrical gremlins.

when I bought the bike the guy said it was running an then he parked it for the winter and the next spring it wouldn't start, No Spark.
 
Sorry for all of these post but I keep thinking things after.

I also have a orange wire with red tracer that goes no where that is under the tank. It has battery power to it. But I can't find where it plugs to.

Maybe he parked it because it had no spark ! Your testing in other thread points to bad ignitor. Used ebay units would be suspect as well.
