So I bought this bike and it ran well for the first 10 hours. After that the bike started to shut down while driving and I couldn't get it started and noticed that the bike doesn't have spark until the next day it ran for few minutes and did the same thing while driving and again didn't start until the next day. What could possibly be the problem, I have changed the spark plug a few times already and disconnected the kill switch and it doesn't seem to help. I've tried to measure the resistance values on stator and the coil but I'm not sure how to do it properly.

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

It is more than likely the ignitor/coil unit on your bike. Typical, and this happened to my 2013 model as well. I replaced the ignitor and everything was fine.
Well if this is true that the cause is ignitor/coil then I might have a second problem because the previous owner had changed the ignitor 10 hours before I bought the bike because his previous ignitor also broke so what could be destroying there ignitors.
I can't say. I rode my bike for 5 years before it conked out. Since replacing the ignitor on mine, it has run well for over three years and still going strong. Not sure when they changed from Kokusan to Ducati. I'm guessing t hat yours has a Ducati system in it , because my WR300 also has a Ducati ignition system in it. That ignition has been reliable for 10 years now. Your bike may have just somehow been unlucky enough to end up with two bad ignitions. I searched through the forum for any old threads on this problem that might shed some light on it, but really came up empty-handed. You may want to check your wiring harness and grounds, for starters though.
I think in husqvarna wr 125 models from 2011 models and forward they have the ducati system. Could the Voltage rectifier have anything to do with this if it would be malfunctioning?
I suppose if it put out voltage that was too high, it could ruin the ignition system on certain bikes. I have seen it happen in street bikes that have DC electrical systems. I haven't seen it happen on AC systems.
