Hi all, had my bike laid up for only a month and now I've no spark at the plug, I started to bell out the wiring from the stator to the cdi and also the kill switch but all is fine, I also tested the trigger wire on the stator and that is pulsing, the other two coils on the stator that power the cdi I've tested also, they are not to earth and show two different readings and when I test for voltage from them I get about 5 volts from one and I think I saw about 25 volts on the other but that may be more than that, anyway, after doing all these tests everything was pointing towards the cdi, so as a last resort I fitted a strobe light, but this was flashing away as I kicked over the engine, so I thought I must have sorted it, I plugged a new plug and still no spark, tried another new plug and no spark, plugged the strobe light back in and it flashes away??
I've tested both coils also with the same results.
Any ideas?

Update:- when it got dark outside I moved the bike into the garage, I don't know if I have disturbed something but I now have a visable weak spark! Will try and start it tomorrow.

Re: Ignition problem no sparky
when i got my last bike from japan i had no spark . did all the tests could not find any problems , took the cdi from my other bike and it started stright away
but i also found the regulator was charging the battery at 26v so maby that was the cause of the cdi going south

Hi Colin, battery is fine, has been on an optimate, with 12.7v after I reinstalled it back into the bike. Regards Sean
