    Hi everyone, I'm currently testing my wiring, trying to fix a no spark issue. I've found that while my kill switch does work, if I take an ohms reading before the switch it reads zero, but if I take one after, it reads 20. I know 20 ohms isn't huge in the scheme of things, but could that be enough to cause my no spark problem?

    Cheers!

    Have you checked the side stand switch (if you have one)
    If you have one, trace it back to the plug, disconnect it, bridge the two wires on the loom side, check for a spark.
