You said you had spark and then said no spark. Which is it?

The crank position sensor reads the fly wheel notches (hall effect) and when it reads a particular spot it sends a signal to the ignition system module to energize the coil then fire a spark plug, I don't know if you have the crank position sensor in the nose cone or on the engine case left front.

Crank sensor is in the front of the motor. Cam is in the nose cone.. This bike has both..

If you have no spark and the coil failed a proper test, sounds like a new coil would be a good place to start... (pun intended!).
