I'm working on my ex-wife's 2000 883, which won't start. It's definitely not a fuel issue, there is no spark at either plug (I've checked with an inline tester as well as grounding each plug directly.) So far, I believe I've eliminated the following components, either through bench testing, replacing with a known good part, or simply based on their current operation:

-Battery
-Starter
-Coil
-Voltage Regulator
-Plug Wires
-Spark Plugs

The starter spins without issue, all lights come on properly... Just no spark. Is there a module/fuse/relay somewhere that I should be looking at? I haven't checked the ignition switch either, although it certainly seems to be operating properly... With the exception of single-fire ignition, everything is completely stock and the bike has been clean and well cared for since new.

I know I should have a shop manual, but it isn't my bike and I hope not to be working on it regularly (of course I have one for my bike)...

Any thoughts on where I should look next are appreciated!

 

If the coil is good and you've ruled everything else, check the ignition module. If it's not triggering the coil, you won't get any spark.

You can actually download that manual as a PDF if you do a little Googling.
