Default No spark

Just bought a 98 road glide fuel injected. Started the bike yesterday and it ran for about 10 seconds and shut off now I have no spark! Anyone have an idea what that could be I think it could be the ignition coil.

First of all, welcome to the fourms. To bad your very first post is on a chity subject. Second of all, do you have the service manual for the bike? How did you determine it has no spark? Does it have gas? Have you checked fuses? Did it sputter before it died or just quit? Any loose connections? Need more details John. I guarantee you that once you provide more information you will be swarmed with answers. When you reach 5 posts show us that bad boy so we can see!

Have a service manual checked all the fuses it did not sputter and it has a full tank of gas I pulled the plugs and left them attached to the wires touched it to the motor and turned it over and there was no spark and I could not find any lose connections the first two things the manual tell you to check are the ignition module and the coil when I called the dealer just for some help they said they doubt its the module it's probably the coil bike was running great up until then

Sounds like you got your bases covered. Sounds like your coil took a dump to me. Hope you get her fixed. Im sure someone will chime in behind me with more knowledge than I have.
