Hello, wolfey, and WELCOME to KZr!

Could begin by checking whether the ignition coils are receiving full battery voltage with the ignition switched "ON."

When the ignition is switched "ON," both ignition coils are supposed to be receiving full battery voltage.













Good Fortune!

ok i found the problem a broken wire in the kill switch and bypassed it so my bike ran and every thing else is checking out fine except the swing arm so it off to a good start now thanks for the help patton the wiring diagrams help alot
