06 sportster. no spark. bad coil?
2006 sportster XL883
No spark. Turns over. Good compression. Fuel and Air is good.
Spark plugs are good. Spark wires are good. Battery is good.
Coil secondaries measuring within the normal range. Forgot exactly what ohm it was, but it was in the normal range.
Coil primaries measuring resistance at 0.9 ohm which is 28% higher than the .0.5 to 0.7 ohm range. Possible problem? I was told this could be a problem but likely isn't. If anyone knows anything about that, feel free to let me know.
I tried to test the plug coming to the coil and got no voltage. I am not sure if I am testing that correctly though. If anyone knows a good way to test the coil connector coming to the coil, I'd give it a shot.
I jumped the ground wire and front coil wire on the ICM.(saw that on sportsterpedia) no spark.
I am leaning bad coil.
Is there anything I should check or tests I should do before replacing the coil?

I believe the changes in the 2004 Sportsters did allow checking for codes on the Speedometer.
(2004-2006) The Ignition Control Module (ICM) became more capable and included a digital communications link (SDB) between itself, the Turn Signal Module and the Speedometer.
The newly added Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) replaced the camshaft pickup as a more advanced means of sensing the engine revolutions
The new Manifold Air Pressure sensor (MAP) replaced the VOES as a more advanced means of sensing engine loads.
The Ignition Control Module for these years is programmable by the dealer to match the specific model bike, either 883 or 1200.
There is also this that refers to 2004+ Sportsters
