Headlight should not come on until start button is pressed. Then relay in relay panel pulls in. Drilling out the switch may have damaged the contacts. If you do not have the 6vdc on the gray wire going to the igniter, you will not have spark to the plugs.

Ok I'm getting 6volts at igniter on the gray wire

 

[Ty poulette]

But still no spark

 

[Bandit101]

With the ignition switch on, there is a red wire that supplies battery voltage to each ignition coil. Make sure you have voltage there. I assume bike was running prior to drilling out switch?

 

[Ty poulette]

Yes it was running before drilling it out from losing the key and okay let me check volts to the coils how many volts should the coals be showing just by chance

 

[Bandit101]

Should be same as battery voltage.

 

[Ty poulette]

So I'm only getting haft the voltage that I have at the battery

 

[Bandit101]

Inside the junction box, which is where your fuses are also located, find the 10 amp fuse marked ignition. With switch on check voltage on both sides of that fuse. Should be battery voltage.
Also does the fuel pump run briefly when you turn the ignition switch on?

 

[Ty poulette]

No it does not

 

[Bandit101]

Did you check the voltage at the fuse, I suggested?

Not yet about to had to go to my son's kindergarten graduation

Hello 1 question i am rewiring my key switch & i have 6 post & you are showing 5 wires i a bit confused .I bought this Kawasaki 1600 mean streak that the wiring harness had melted most of the wires including the wires in the key housing that i could not tell what wire went where .So i bought a new wiring harness and i can only see this photo that shows 4 wire but not sure where the brown wire goes to .thank u for the help .

If fuel pump isn't kicking on will that make the bike not have spark

kherewego, please start a new subject post so we don't get confused here.

Ty, if the fuel pump is not coming on when the switch is turned on, it is an indication there may not be power going to it as it uses the same power supply feed as the ignition coils. With half battery voltage the fuel pump will not run. Did you do any rewiring of the ignition switch? At the ignition switch there is a brown wire. With the switch on what is the voltage on the brown wire?

 

[Ty poulette]

We did have to wire in a new solenoid plug and solenoid I put a whole new ignition on it but it had the same plug all the wires were the same on the plugs let me check the voltage on the brown wire coming off the switch

Thanks for helping . Yes i rewired the key switch all the wires were melted also .Only thing it has 6 spots for wire to be soldied onto but there only 5 wires so i may of not got it right .So last night i took it back apart but confused a bit on witch wire go where any ideal .Thank you .

With the key turned on i had 12 volts on brown wire .

That would be correct. See post 31 of this thread for resistor connection.

ok i read that post .But it only shows 4 wire & i got those new wire soldied on but i have 1 wire left & 2 spots not sure where the brown wire go to ?Thanks

Please bear with me i had a bad head injury over a year ago & trying to get health back to normal has been hard but still kicking ok .Thank u
