i got new plugs and tested the coils with a 12v battery and theyre a bit weak but still work. the pickups measured 64-65 ohms each so i believe they are good. i guess that makes the final culprit the igniter (model 32900-47020 BB1201), but also i noticed when looking at the pickups that only one of the two magnets is still magnetic, the other doesnt attract my screwdriver even a little bit. im not sure this would cause a no spark, i would think it would cause periodical missing of spark but not no spark outright.
how do i go about testing this model of igniter to verify if it is the issue or not? i have a fully charged car battery hooked up for testing the bike so its got plenty of current and run time for the bike.
also i dont have the key for it so im using jumper wires to jump the pin pairs on the connector and made sure to jump the right pairs from the wiring diagram (red to orange, white to brown) and it does have status lights and cranks so im pretty sure its not an issue.
edit: i saw someone using leds to check pickups so i went ahead and tried it using some 2v red leds where the cathodes were hooked to the common ground and each anode went to the individual positives. it turns out even though both pickups have the same exact resistance and voltage generation when spinning the engine one will not light up its led, i swapped them around to make sure the led wasnt dead but it was the same thing, the same pickups did the same thing. does this mean one of the pickups is bad or what?
