Sometimes it's the simplest things.
Problem... No sparks on the RVF.
I checked...
Coil primary and secondary resistance
Pulse generator resistance
CDI to coil and CDI to pulse generator continuity
HT Leads, re-tapping a pair of them (for luck)
CDI supply rail
Clutch switch
Sidestand switch
Neutral switch
Diode pack
And still no joy.
Then I looked in the fuse box and discovered the 10A fuse for the ignition wasn't there.
Fudgesticks.
Abuse me, I deserve it.  ____________________ GSXR400 x2 | '94 RVF400 | '93 TZR125 4DL (again)

I called the RAC out once after I couldn't get my bike (Bandit 600, first bike) started. RAC bloke tried to start it, no joy, checked and tried several things. He loaded it onto the back of the lorry, took me 100 miles home.
Got it home, guess what neither of us had checked.  ____________________ TheShaggyDA: I've got 3 or 4 pairs that predate my wife, so at least 11.5 years old. |

Please don't say it was the kill switch or petcock?
In fact please do so I can do a Nelson Munce laugh at you. ____________________ Current: ZZR1400

When I first got my bike I went for a ride and after about 5 minutes it stopped and i couldn't get it started again. I tried the kill switch not knowing which was it was meant to go. My brother in law came down to have a look. His dad came down to have a look because he has bikes.
We tried jumping it for ages and still no joy. Then we realised the kill switch was on. So we turned it off and tried again. It still wouldn't start. They started taking the mick saying i had bought a knackered bike and the bloke must be laughing his head off all the way back to yorkshire.
Then we tried to think about what it could be, what would stop the engine starting. Then i remebered he had told me about the fuel tap and if i was leaving the bike for long times i should turn it off. I looked and the bloke i had bought it off had left the tap off. Epic fail on behalf of three of us who couldn't figure a 125 out.

my (currently most recent) massive fail was i couldn't figure out why the bike wouldn't run on no choke. then i found out the lever goes the over way for no choke (towards instead of away from you)  ____________________ "intelligent inattention is preferable to unintelligent tinkering"
