Double check your connections, they aren't the best.
How did your plug look? Try a new one for the sake of it they are cheap anyway. Is your bike an import? If it is look for butchered connections and taped joints in the loom, if you find any you might be worth looking for a new loom. Keep us posted on how you get on.

Seconded
My starter relay problems were down to a bad connector and coincidently and fortunately whilst the Auto electrician was here the ignition circuit decided to play up and both of them were down to bad connectors. Mines a TTR with even crappier electrics.

fault finding guide
try to use this
Technical Article: Motorcycle Electrical Fault Finding Guide - ElectroSport Industries the correct impedance values for your coil are in service manual, downloadable from link top of XT page here. get a tester and test the values, if you r out of range, it's the coil. anyway,make this test: if you take your rear light lamp, and connect to coil wires, if ignition unit is ok the lamp should flash when you press start button.

This wouldn't stop it sparking - but it wouldn't start though!!!

When mine broke it still sparked but it just wouldn't turn the bike on that's why I mentioned it....
and it's really simple to check if it is broken or not... On the left side of the engine cylinder is the camshaft chain tensioner. Take it out and put a finger in there and do like you know how and see if it is there..... Vando |
