570 FE

[Clyde62960]

I have a 2011 FE 570 that all of a sudden it has no spark
I am not real good at diagnosing electrical stuff
New plug —nothing
It was running last fall
Any help would be appreciated

Did you bump your master ignition switch to off on the handlebar switch?

No -it is on

It turns over I’m guessing? Throttle all way off? If it’s open even a little bike won’t start. Voltage good should be more than 10.3 but at least 13.0 start checking ground/earth , disconnect stop switch could be faulty

Raniero brings up several good points. I would add to check all of the fuses under the seat.

Does the FI light illuminate when cranking it over, assuming it cranks?

It turns on and turns over

It turns on and turns over

I have checked the fuses

No voltage
I have taken the stop switch apart—seems ok

 

[Rainerio]

Did try starting it without the switch ? Completely remove the stop switch from the circuit

 

[Clyde62960]

No
I have not tried that

Try removing (unscrewing) the spark plug boot and measuring the resistance of it. I don’t remember off the top of my head what it should be, but it should not be infinite resistance.

If it is a reasonable number, skin the coil wire back about 1/2” exposing the strands. Fold them back onto wire and screw the boot back into it snugly and give that a try.
