So the wire between the coil and the ECU is broke.

ok I think you are correct about that wire I took the cover off the plug to the ecm and the wire that matched the color of the center wire to the coil said its number 35 terminal now I have to find out if I am looking at the same wire from the coil I will try to find a chart with that plug on it when I turn the ignition on that wire gets 12 volt at the plug but not at the coil so I need to find this before I move forward of if you have that chart and can tell me if wire 35 is the right one that would help alot

Sorry, But I don't have a wiring diagram for that bike. The wire you seem to be talking about is the power wire. It's going to be one of the other 2 wires you are having issue with.. I don't know which is which.

ok let me get this straight the center wire should have 12 volts at the coil so that has to be the broken wire correct?
