Have you offered a sacrifice to the sparkler fairies lately?
( need more info to even guess.)Broken wires? Kill switch issue? Bad pick up coil? etc...

Side stand switch? It's easy to overlook but that one is really exposed.

No not sorted.The bike cooled and fired right up.Now when warmed up it wont go again.I am thinking cdi.I know they like to quit on one cylinder either side it seems.When and if he gets back(16 hrs north) yea I know it's to cold.I have two faulty cdi's kicking around.One left one right are the sides that quit,but it's somewhere to start.After that I'm gona talk him into going with a TTP ignitor.Thats whats on mine and no issues for three years.

Not firing when hot but running when cooled off could very well be your pick up coil.

I'm with Ian. One of our forum members did a test on his coil and when it got hot the impedance went off the charts causing it to fail.
