bike will not start but I got spark
Went to go start my bike after work today and it would not start. I checked i got spark on the front cylinder but not the rear cylinder. What could be my problem?

Swap the wires around and see if the cylinder that had spark still has spark. If it does then it's the coil, if it doesn't then it's the wires. Hope this helps.
