Hello to every one. I have a very serious(to me) problem. My goldwing which I have only owned for a week now has left me sad. I was finally able to buy my dream bike (although it used) last week. I road the bike home from tulsa ok. To arkcity ks. And had a wonderful ride. Now the problem. After only one week of pleasant evening rides my wing failed to start for me. Now here is what I know for sure. Bike has only 35,000 miles. Fresh oil change. The trouble shooting that I have done is as follows. I have checked all fuses and all is good. I have checked and rechecked all relays and all are good. The fuel pump does its little run time at key on position. Battery is two months old and registers 12.7 volts with no load and registers a very good 11.6 volts under list of starter motor running. I pulled the spark plug covers to check for spark and there is none, Nada, ziltch. I checked this by using a new spark plug pluged into the plug wire and grounded the plug to the head while engaging the starter. I got not even a hint of spark.. any sugestions or where to go would be great. I am assuming that since I have no fire to the plugs, I have no fire reaching the ignition coils either. I have no idea where the fire comes from before it reaches the ignition coils. I'm thinking maybe the pulse generator. Actually I don't know where to begin, and am hoping someone smarter and more knowledgeable can maybe help me get back on my ride. Thank you for any help you can give me. Miloman.
