Got spark? Got petrol?

I had something similar happen recently. It turned out I had a bad connection at the crank sensor causing a no spark situation.

Interfuse took the words out of my mouth. When a bike doesn't start these are the first things you ask. Do you know how to check for spark?

"Got milk?" heh heh

I don't know about milk but got (enough) juice? You could be turning the starter but not have enough umph in your battery to start the bike....

yeahi had petrol and battery and stuff. i took the coils off and cleaned the connections they were really gakked up, that seemed to do the trick she's running like a new bike now.

thanks guys.
