    I recently got a Suzuki 800 intruder. For some reason it is not firing and I find it hard to believe that both coil packs have gone out on it. They 2 wire going in to it are hot but no spark coming from the plug wire. Can anyone help me out?

    Not really up on Suzuki but if you have no spark at all I would doubt both coil packs quit at the same time.Im going on the assumption it was running and shut off on you.if it were me I would check that you have voltage going to the coil when you are cranking the motor. if you lose voltage when the starter kicks in it's probably a sensor.kick stand sensor on a kawi will do that of course the CDI or ignitor can do that too.really to be more helpful some more info is needed was it running and stopped? is it a bobber with a chopped up wiring harness? Im no expert but tell me a little more and I will help if I can...

    I knew I posted this somewhere! I got it up and running. It had been sitting for 2 years and turned out it was the battery.

    It's almost always the battery.
