April 28, 201115 yr Author Hi Bernie ; Just a few thoughts ... 1.Bike needs ducati coil ... 2. Kill switch lead is there somewhere shorting your ignnition ...??##%%??? 3. Bike is about 30 years old ! pull off the sidecover and flywheel , buy some quality wire in the correct colors and get your soldering iron and heatshrink tubing out and rewire the ignition !!! So ypu know it's right , a dead bike on the trail is a pia for all involved !!! (and a poor connection or a broken wire that you may never find could be the whole problem .) 4. ENJOY the heck out of the bike and learn all about her ! THEY ARE FANTASTIC BIKES !!! Have Fun ! Glenn Hi Glenn, That's a good advise! I can't stand it when something works / not works, and i don't know what the exact problem is...... So i will change the wires and reconnect and iron all cables with new ones. I knwo the bike; i rode it 25 years ago (when i was young.....snif snif...) in competition and at that time it felt as a superiour bike. A little bit heavy but with the tork of a hummer! It's a lot better then the Honda TLR200 (is for sale......) Bernie Edited April 28, 201115 yr by Bernie
April 30, 201115 yr It's the kill switch, its shorted out. Disconnect it at the coil I bet it runs fine
May 13, 201115 yr Author UPDATE: The bike ran well till last week; again NO SPARK....^$#$%%^^@@@ Took it to another Fantic enthousiast and now the problem is really solved: the Mitsuba bobine is broken...... ...it worked and it did'nt worked and so on and so on We've put another Ducati bobine on it and the spark flew to heaven..... Cheers, Bernie
