Dommie's plug no spark?



Just got my bike running few days ago, Suddenly its dead again!
Found out that theres no spark at the plug cables...
a) is it the cdi problem (mine got a new cdi done only 200kms but its been sitting still for over 2 years)
b) coil plug (the one under the tank that connect straight the plug)
c) anything else?

will it be okay to fit other bike parts?
will this work/harm my Dommie?:confused1:

Thank you

Hola
Are the RPM needle moving when you try to start the engine?
If not it’s the CDI. On the Dommie CDI two shared exits are going one to de Ignition coil and the other to RPM indicator. If this show some movement when you try to start problem can be on the coil the cable the plug or even on the spark plug.
Hope this help.

It worked!

Mucho gracias, Javier

I did what you ask me to do & yes the needle moved,
so I replace the coil & its sparking again!
But I replaced it with 2nd hand Suzuki FXR150 parts
(will it last/harm my bike):confused1:
I will replace it when I have money!

Ride easy

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
