    There was a thread not too long ago where someone was having the same issue and found some chaffed wires going to the cdi. I looked for a few minutes but I can't find the thread. But being brand new, I can't see the wires being chaffed already.

    Joe Kraft Did you look at this?


    Would like to update my status. It was just a coincidence that the new coil fix my problem,the real problem ended up being a chafed wire running along the coil bracket,when I plugged in the new one I must of took it away from ground allowing it to run. I found this after sitting in the woods 2mile from the finish line on the last lap today. all good now.

    Believe it or not. I've had three new bikes that did the same thing. It's been a while, but a new spark plug fixed it each time. From then on, I always change the original plug out first thing. Probably just superstition!!!

    Joe Keep your eye out for a older CR electronics My 2010 has a 2002 set up. Only takes 10 minutes to change it over You do not need lights anyway
    Also 100s MC National update it is going to be great to bad you are stuck back east Hope you get that 300 working because once you do it is just such a great bike Next time you are in the desert you can ride mine you will see

    How do you know that the random issues you are having are spark?

    There are not many components on the ignition on these. If you're totally stumped, just replace the few components one at a time from a bike that they are known to be good (or with new parts) until the problem goes away.

    Also, you want to make sure it's not the kill switch, bypass that to take it out of the equation. That's a good first test. Then kill switch wiring. Etc.

    There is a big difference between kicking the bike over and when the bike is running, so they may not be directly comparable. Look on here for info about headlights and kick starting.

    If it is spark, start swapping the few ignition parts over from a known good bike one at a time and see when the problem goes away.

    I had an electric failure on mu 2013 300 too. I found the problem being the wiring that goes next to the steering head. There is a multi connection with several blue cables that are connected in some kind of vulcanised contact. The cables just outside this contact was broken inside the insulation. I cut the insulation and then I felt that when i draw my fingers over the isolation of those thin blue cables. It was also visible as the isolation was stretced and therefore lighter in it's colour. It's a longshot, but if you don't find anything else, maybe it's worth a check. My problem occured when i turned my steering to one side as the cables slightly bent as the lighting cables goes in the same wiring loom. Sorry for my baaad English..
