bike wont fire...help
hey guys i went out today to fire the bike up and take it for a spin but it wouldnt start..it would crank fine but not start. i pulled one of the plugs and held it agaist the engine for ground and cranked it but the plug is not firing, no spark at all.. i havent started the bike in about a month and i,ve never had problems before so could could it be a bad coil..if i hook the plug wire to the plug andground the plug to the engine while cranking the engine shouldnt the plug spark...thanks for any help...

Dave if you have the plug out of the engine the ECM knows there is no compression in that cylinder so it cuts off the injector and ignition in that cylinder......now it's a bit more complicated than I explained but you get the drift. Install the plug back in the cylinder and use another plug to test with.

Do all late Harleys use waisted spark durring the start procedure and then convert to single spark once the motor comes to life and the Ion sensing has a lock on the crank?
still asking questions
