Main ignition box is under the seat by the fuse box.

Don't overlook the kickstand kill switch. These have been known to go bad. If it tripped or has failed, your bike will not start, despite everything else being in perfect condition. They are wired in to simply kill the spark when they are down. So, it would look like a spark problem, even though it's not.

I never had it happen to my Gz, but I know of others on here who had a problem with it. I also just had to deal with one on my new 2005 Murray 30" riding lawnmower. Seat switch was failing and I spent 2 days trying to diagnose why I wasn't getting spark. Stuck my hand under the seat body, lifted the switch maybe 2cm and she fired right up.

I know it's not the kickstand switch though. I dont run a kick stand switch and when it's unhooked it doesn't kill the bike until I try to put it in gear... I wish it was something that simple!

If the switch is working properly,it won't kill the bike unless you try to put the bike in gear with the side stand down.If you have the switch disabled,the bike shouldn't quit when you put it in gear,regardless if the side stand is up or down.

Well when I changed the wiring harness my wire cap some how came off and it took me a few mins to figure out why it wouldn't go in gear without goin dead haha the wires came untwisted. I have fixed the problem there tho

Now,I got ya. :cool:

Do you mean that you've disabled the side stand safety device? Whoooooooooooo d a n g e r o u s.

Just let us know when (not if!) you set off with the sidestand down, & the bike goes down. :whistle:

[Cooteboy]

That's why I like a kick start - you don't ever "accidentally" kick start the bike :lol:

[techdude2013]

Well now that you said something about taking off with the kickstand down I will be double sure to make sure I don't and thats only if i can get it up and running... one of my dads friends who works on bikes said that he has never heard of the ignition box going out... he said what most likely happened is my regulator went out and isnt allowing power to get to my coil... so im going to try that next i guess... O.o

Well I finally found my problem but now I need to know the best way of going about it. It's either my stator or pickup coil. My rectifier is good and my ignition box is good. I was wondering what is the best way of replacing that?
