lost spark on my 98 srx600, worked a month ago and last week it pooped out on me, not sure what next to check for, anyhelp would be greatful.
Thanks DAN
 
seriously though, pick up a manual from Yamaha they should have a troubleshooting guide of some sort, or start by checkin the cdi box for ign power, or try swapping for a known good cdi box from a friend. Make sure you have voltage at the coils while cranking the engine. If you do have volatage at the input side of the coils, but no spark out, then the coils are shot.
 
Some of your local Yamha techs (the good ones) will have the sevice book that will have a peak voltage test on all the components. It will pinpoint the trouble. Brad
 
I know this might sound stupid, but do you have a tether cord on your sled?
Take it off and have someone push the button in while you pull it over.
I removed my cord last month when I was washing and waxing my sled, never put it back on far enough. I pulled like a mother for about ten minutes, nothing.
Took off my tether cord and re-installed it----voila!
just a thought,

theres some good tips provided

the tether cord check is a very good tip, often over looked!

To check where the problem comes from, get a digital voltmeter and check the out put of the pulser coil(engine coils), this sends the signal to the cdi box. If you show a output of varible voltage move onto the cdi box, check the output wires, if nothing comes out, then you know where the problem is. It would be best to have a shop manual and then you can test the wires and know what colors go to where, but if you start at the source of power and work your way to the end(coil wire/sparkplug cap) its pretty simple to trace down.
