Did you check all the safety interlocks? There are other things that will kill the spark at the coils/plugs -- such as the sidestand switch while in gear.

Don't worry about them.. Ignore them.. They won't go away but Md will pout and CP will calculate why, and that will keep them busy while we fix your bike.. Any progress?Originally posted by muckComment

No luck yet. Been very buzy. This weekend im gonna heat the coils. what am i looking for while heating the coils?"Muck, what part of "Thou shall not" didn't you understand?" GODComment

I don't think it is your issue but if you heat the coils with a hair drier while measuring the resistance you will see if there is a crack in the coil that causes issues when the engine is warm. I was just wondering if cycling the coils (trying to start the bike) might open them up..Comment

Im not getting spark out of either coil. i would be surprised if both coils went at the same time though"Muck, what part of "Thou shall not" didn't you understand?" GODComment

I just found out that there was an issue with the kill switch on this bike. the guy i bought it off of said he had to wiggle the start switch to get it started a few times. this would have been nice to know 2 months ago."Muck, what part of "Thou shall not" didn't you understand?" GODComment

Man... that sucks. Maybe all you need to do is open up the pod and clean the contacts. Hope it's that easy for ya, sucks you've been missing out on riding for this long for such an easy fix.
