Cant get my 50cc scooter to fire up-no spark. it has a new spark plug, battery's charged, any suggestions. thx. Created by abrantesc. Motorcycles - Suzuki - RM-Z 250 - 2005 Suzuki RM-Z 250

Do you see spark? If not, check the side stand kill switch. It kills the engine so that you don’t start out with the side stand down. If broken or out of adjustment, it would kill the spark. Check for a broken wire at the side stand switch and coupler. Try moving the side stand kill switch by hand. If that doesn’t work then wire a jumper around the switch to bypass it. Is the handlebar kill switch on? Is it shorted out? Check the fuses. Check the operation of the ignition switch and all kill switches with a volt ohmmeter. Check the wiring harness. Did a wire come unplugged? Are all wires clean and with solid connections? Any abraded or pinched wires? Is the bike in neutral and the neutral light is lit up? If no neutral light, check the neutral switch and neutral switch wire on center or side casing. If still no spark, get CDI system and coils checked at the dealers shop.
