How old is the battery?
Have you checked the charging system?
Take some time to go thru your wiring and clean/repair any loos/corroded connectors, especially in the engine area and behind the headlight.

Does the siren still work? I'd get in so much trouble if I had a police bike.

If old and hard, may be leaking voltage, especially when damp.
Could remove plugs and observe spark quality while spinning the engine over.
Look for fat blue. Not thin orange.

I have a 1999 kz1000p It use to fire right away, but now when i try to start it it will turn over for a while then it will start popping and eventually start. if i put it in the sun then it starts easier i replaced the coils and pick up coils but the problem is still there should i replace the ic unit? but just before this problem my turn signals stopped working. and when i pulled the tank off i found the wires from the right handle bar controls were pulled tight across the top of the engine, on the controls is the start button, siren switch, headlight switch,and pursuit switch. the turn signals are on the left. Any ideas what to do to get my bike working again?
Any particular reason why the pick up coils were replaced?
Were brand new ignition coils fitted, with correct ohm resistance?
Good Fortune!
