    I've not been able to start my bike. Checked the fuel, all fine. I then checked for a spark and I get a single spark right after I hit the starter button and then nothing. If I release the starter button and wait for 5 secs and try again, I get another single spark then nothing at all.

    I have replaced the plug and replaced the coil and I get the same thing.

    Any advice would be great thanks.

    Hi, I am having the exact same problem with an ET4. Did you find out what the problem was?
    Thanks

    Yes I fixed this. It took me a while to diagnose all it was was a faulty earth from the battery to the frame. I took that lead off and replaced it with new and the problem went. Hoooray!

    Thanks, I'll give it a try. I have tried everything else! Stator, pick up, megneto, CDI unit! Nightmare!
