I'm seriously a couple more cranks away from setting this bitch on fire I swear to god.

I put nearly 600$ into getting this bike running agin. Plugs and all. Brand new battery from HD. The bike ran for about a week like shit but nothing unusual. It would clear up after it warmed up. It sat for two days TWO DAYS in the cold I tried to start to run it for a bit. Has all the power in the world and does not struggle when started. Just no fire. Put battery on the charger and its 100% go to start agin same shit give up thought too cold. Next day 20 degrees warmer same shit. Put a heater on it warm the engine up. Same. When I turn the key I hear the fuel pump.

I'm really losing my patience with this bike I really am

did you change your plug wires? ive had bad ones in the past. make sure you have good spark. take the plugs out, hook them back up to the wires, ground the ends and crank. if you have spark then its not the plugs, wires, or coil. go with the simple stuff first.

^This. Although even a weak coil will spark when grounded and is easily misdiagnosed.

$600 on a battery and plugs? Surely you must've had something else done for that much $$.

Exactly what does this mean? It'll idle but when you give it throttle it stumbles? Won't rev? Help us help you by giving us some better details. I can't say how many times I've heard guys say "changed the plugs and now it runs like crap" or "it ran like crap so I changed the plugs and it still runs like crap". Check the wires as stated above, if they test good, make sure they're on all the way, they totally suck cuz they're short with no slack and no room to push them on. What year/model is your bike? If the wires are original and 5+ years old, I'd prob replace them anyway.

Here's some info on testing your coil. Let us know how you make out.

I think he means it cranks over quickly, but doesn't even try to start.
Could be the ign fuse that powers the coil. Check that first.
It could be spark, but both plugs, wires, coils going at the same time? Doubt it.
How about a crank sensor? That would do it. You can check its output at the sensor (or it's input at the coils) with a regular 12v test light. The small plug at the coil will have one hot (key on) and one that pulses to ground when cranking.

Or fuel, sure the pump runs, but you got pressure? flow? Crack an injector line open and put a rag over it, turn the key on. Got stinky gas all over your bike now?
