You will not get spark if the compression is too low. Pick up a 2nd set of plugs (or use some old ones) to check for spark while your current ones are still in the heads.

Cam and crank sensor is a possibility.

Not sure about cam sensor which controls timing, but it
Sounds to me like crank sensor failure. I'd just replace it, it's

That hickup tells me it is your cam position sensor. Mine did that and the engine light would come on and off. The crank position sensor usually just kills the bike when it goes.
