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 :lol:

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....
