Hi all, I recently posted that the bike wouldn't run, I eventually got it to run and ran it every day.. until the other day . I've checked the pump, had it out inspected it, all was good. Fuel getting through ok, priming, kill switch ok, cranking over ok.. I'm thinking it's sparking intermittently as it's not even trying to fire this time as last time it was a good spark and ran . What to check next as to what's causing it not to spark ? Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks
 
You've got a loose and/or corroded connection somewhere.
I'd get a test light and start looking from the ignition switch outward.
Could be the sidestand switch, the neutral switch, the wires to the clutch switch, ignition switch, wires to the coils - the list goes on.
Back many years ago there was a recall on the tip over switch IIRC.
