no spark

So, I took the ninja apart a while back to clean the carbs and help sort out some running issues. The bike hasn't been started for a good month or 2 now, but I put it back together and tried pushing it down the hill in gear to start it up (flat battery)

Nothing.

Well, not nothing nothing, but it didnt start. The engine turned over, dash lights turned on briefly and the bike came to a holt. I tried again and again with the same problem.

So, I decided that the imobiliser in the alarm was probably causing an issue. However, after connecting the two bikes together with the cables, the alarm didn't go off as I'd expecting it to. Infact, it "reminded me" to set the alarm every time I turned the ignition off, so I'm fairly sure its deactivated, however, the fob has stopped connecting with the alarm, it keeps saying there is no signal, so I cannot arm/disarm it by remote.

Anyway, long story short, thee plugs arent sparking. I've tried different plugs (still have the old ones) and still nothing.

I got the multimeter out and put it on the beep setting (yeah, I dont have a clue what thats called) and each plug has a red wire an a white wire. The red wires beep, but the whites do not.

Personally, I have no idea what that even means, I'm just sticking my multimeter in parts of the bike in a hope that the bike has feelings and I annoy it enough that it will just start on its own to stop me prodding it any longer

Oh, and all the fuses are ok. I swapped the fuse for the horn (or lights. can't remember) with the IGN fuse just to be sure

sounds like an alarm immobiliser problem to me charge the battery up properly a if it hasnt got a good charge to turn it over properly the starter can draw all the power leaving none to kick cdi into life

Yeah.....These new fangled bikes with all their fancy electronics need a decent amount of power in the battery to run the ECU.......no power, no starty ......
