Hi mate sounds like you tested all the standard stuff you obviously know what your doing - In my experience when I get a bike like this where all seemingly is good and set correctly but no sign of life when trying to start 99% of the time ends up being the stator.
And I know it seems strange but I honestly up to about my tenth bike now where even though shows spark at plug when kicked over test, the stator still at fault when tested with Multi meter (way out of spec.)
If you have your repair manual flick through and get the spec ranges for the resistance on your stator then disconnect the stator lead at the CDI end and its very simple set your meter to ohms and plug into each pair of wires (usually 3 pairs) and see what readings you get
don't worry to much if you don't have the spec range as if it is the stator you will quickly notice you get zero reading on one pair of wires if not all three?
let me know if you want more clarification on testing
If all this fails to assist then my advice would a be leak down test to diagnose compression leaks, open valves, gasket leaks etc Then I would pay attention to the pilot circuit of the carbi, Double check your timing and valve clearances, Then I would be back to testing stator again?
Very rarely your coil pack (spark plug cap) can fail but be worth testing it when you have your multi meter out ( you looking for about 0.08 - 0.10 resistance reading on it) and even more rarely the CDI box can fail, no real way to test this apart from plug new one in and test if cures things...
Being that 5-6 years old and you know the bulk of how to fix and maintain this sound more and more like a stator problem..
On the up side if you do need to change the stator great opportunity to change cam chain aswell they run like brand new with full stator power and a brand new cam chain
cheers mate .... Good luck!

Yamaha YBR Custom 125 won't start after sitting idle for 4 weeks. Blockage in fuel pipe?

Fuel does "go off" but it won't happen in just 4 weeks. But, the battery will lose some of its charge in that time. Charge the battery and try again. Good luck.

All of a sudden my 1996 Kawasaki Vulcan has stop starting. It started maybe a week ago when I would try to start it it would click 4 or 5 times then start, now it will not start at all. What is the...

Could just be a flat battery - if you don't ride it all the time you'll find the battery will go flat quite quickly. If it's the case you'll need to recharge the battery off the bike - if you have an alarm you'll find that sucks the battery down quite quickly! I'd recomend you get a 'trickle charger' I use an opti mate charger, you put a small harness on the battery and when you're not riding you just plug the bike into the charger - NOTE - Only do this with a charger like the Opti-Mate that is designed do be left on all the time. I think they are worth there weight in gold - they are about £50 but you can get a cheaper version! A lot of manufactures recommend them these day especially if you do ride your bike all the time.

Should I start or take my motorcycle for a ride during the winter

yes you should at least start it once a week. bikes do not take sitting well even in a garage. give it about 5 min run time. also add a fuel stabilizer to a fresh tank of gas.

Problem starting ktm 2006 sxf 250

check inlet valve clearances. they close up making it hard to start exactly as you described. titanium valve coatings wear and ressesion happens quickly,a clean air filter must be maintained to prevent contaniments wearing valve coatings.

Bike shuts off???

if when your bike gets to riding temp. and, you turn it off; and, then restart... if the crank speed is slow replace your battery if your crank speed is normal replace your ignition module (batteries can be recharged and, measure 12 volts and, still be weak)
Amps can fall off (amps are what give the battery muscle to spin your starter ) ignition modules can be affected by heat and fail to maintain spark

It all seems to be leading to fuel starvation. Have you checked the tank breather is not blocked which can be a small hole in the petrol cap or a tube from under the tank. It could also be a blocked fuel filter. There should be two. One inside the fuel tank under the petcock, another before the fuel pump. Here is the workshop manual where you can find all info you will ever need for this bike.
Hop this has been useful, rate me if it has...?
Thanks and good luck.
