See if it has a fuse in the line that goes up to the instruments.

the ground wire is still connected to the coils,wire a switch to that spot to shut it off

sure will , if your upside down or worse the last thing you want is fuel flowing !!!

Magneto

Sort of depends on the bike. We don't know what bike you have. In general, removing baffles won't hurt anything but your ears, and isn't likely to cost power.

what make and model is it

The coil primary is provided 6v directly from the electronic ignition control. (Not sure what you mean by "order of power.")

make , model ,year? Probably blown fuse if battery is ok

Poor ignition, timing. Have you done a compression test to be sure it's all good to go internally?

Check the magneto with a meter that tests ohms. http://www.smallengineadvicefordummies.com/home/home/how-to-test-a-coil

more than likely as the power valve is what allows extra fuel into the system for acceleration it could be blocked or out of adjustment if operated from the throttle.

get it serviced

check for spark sounds like coil may have fried if you have power to the coil and no spark then it is the coil you can look on youtube for a video to test the coil but chances are if it has power and no spark then it is the issue check the plugs for spark on something else if you can if they are old

Charge the battery and check fuses again. Regards Phillip

Have you checked the fuses? I use to remove mine to deter theft.

Hi Martin,did you reconnect the ground cable? It normally goes under one of the bell housing bolts.

Triple check your work, you have a bad connection/s some where.

Hi you need clutch plate and springs and if the metal plates are scorched replace them also. Then make sure they sed sdjusted correctly there should be some free-play in the lever around 3-5 mm. When you sed doing if change the oil and filter it will be destroyed by the fried clutch. Have fun. Jim...

Hi Carol: I'd start by re-checking timing. Sweet ride!

Same thing happened to me. It turned out to be a corroded connection from the alternator that snapped off when inspected. The first thing to check is battery condition. A fully charged battery should be around 12.5 volts. When the engine is running the voltage should increase to around 14.5 volts. If it does increase then your charging system is working as it should and the problem lies elsewhere (possibly a battery that is past its best and needs replacing). If it doesn't increase the voltage, then chec the wires from your alternator (ther should be 2 wires) and follow these to the junction connector. This was where mine was badly corroded. I used more cable to bypass this connection and my problem was fixed. I then replaced the connections with new ones and all is fine. The bright yellow straw is pointing to the corrosion problem. Hope this is of help as totally replacing your alternator isn't cheap.
