Hello Oilhead Hive Mind,
I did a search but I think I'm doing something wrong because when i search "no spark" i get posts from every forum and I don't see No Spark in any of the collected threads.
That aside, I hope I can get a check list /work flow for discovering the no spark issue.
2002 R1150Rt 17k miles. Was running 8 months ago, quit. Wouldn't start again, they sold it to me. The bike is just spotless.
Sidestand up, clutch pulled in, kill switch in center position, crank but no spark.
Is there a way to test the Motronic, HES and coil? I assume it's on of those. Though from what I did read, they were not common fail issues on the 1150Rt. The side stand and clutch switches could be a problem I know, how would I test for those?
Please point me in the right direction or to the posting where this has been discussed. I'm dying to try this bike out. Thank you!
