My wr426 was running completely fine then as I was riding along it cut out. Haven't been able to fire the engine on any of the 500+ times ive kicked it over. So I bought a new spark plug and tested it to only find there is no spark. It was running perfect then just stopped like it decided it did not want to run. I checked all the electrics earths and connections but still zero spark.
Can anyone please tell me what is wrong with my bike as I need the bloody thing going. Anything to try would be much appreciated thank you guys

Do you have the service manual? There is only a small handful of things that could cause no spark. The wr has a simple electric system. I would start with the coil and work your back till you find the issue.

Try unplugging the key and/or kill switch

That's some good information .

I have been trying to chase up a manual for a bit. Sick of not having one though.

Is there a way to test the coil and cdi or do you only replace with a new part to see what's working and what isn't?

Will try the kill switch idea too. Thanks

If it turns out been the cdi or coil would I be better off using the cdi and coil from a yz426f? As bike is running the yzf exhaust timing anyhow would it run better?
Thought I should mention too the bike has trail tech vapor.

the kill switches on the WR are kind of shitty - so that is where I would start by disconnecting it -

What did it turn out to be?

Did you ever figure out what was going on? The same thing happened to me. I feel like I break this thing every week! I know this post is really old but let me know if you're still around. Thanks.

So I think I did the same to my stator.. Is it really toast or can I hot glue the damage??

Turned out being the Stator. Replaced the magneto and Stator. Coils on it were fried also from memory it chucked a chunk of magnet from it.

It'd be worthwhile getting yourself a Stator puller and taking a look. Any Black or burns it needs replacing. It may work out cheaper to send it to a small coil rewind shop etc.
