when you removed the ignition did you install an inline resistor to replicate the anti-hotwiring in the key switch? If you need details of this there is a drawing on the site (try searching something like "race loom" - failing that Baz will know where it is. Without this mod the bike will turn over but no sparks.

Actually - not sure if bike will even turn over without this mod - I cant remember but without the resistor (I think its 100ohm- got mine from Maplin) the bike certainly wont run

Hey mate
I had a similar issue, i found that my battery was a bit on the dodgy side. Even though the starter motor was working no spark from the coils. Get the battery tested or try a different one and see if it makes a difference
