OK so I was reading around the forums for better spark plugs and ignition wire and I decided to buy the ngk plug everybody here uses works great I also got automotive ignition wire perfect as well very flexible as it's getting colder in in Winnipeg. Now my problem the bike ran fine going to a friends house for mourning run but on the way back it started nice then as soon as I stop on the sign it died would not start at all. the compression was strong no spark on the new plug and I had to pedal home now there is power coming from the engine to the ignition coil but no spark my ngk. I gave her pedaling down my back line started run for less than a second then died now these plugs are brand new the ignition wire is fine as soon as I put the old plug in it start just am I missing something or is my engine really picky I don't know way it wont start with an aftermarket plug NGK 6 for the rest but I got the right one can anyone help me with this problem I don't trust the reliability of the stock plug thanks for the input. PS I also used plugs that I know work and and test the ngk plug works fine.

is the wire screwed in tightly to the cdi?
is it making a good connection with the plug (nice n snug)?

Yes I tighten the plug till it would not turn anymore and It makes a click when I plug it to the spark plug.

sound like you foulled the plug my friend. it wont spark, or sparks could still be fouled is the wire fibre core or copper wire? make sure its copper auto wires are fiber core it will work but I dont recommend it
