I have had issues that seemed like they were electrical, chased wiring then later after following a recommendation from a friend and replacing the battery, my electrical problems magically disappeared. Since that battery I replaced, only lasted me 18 months, i decided to keep a trickle charger on both my bikes. The only trouble I've had since then is a flasher unit. YMMV

I don't think it would be the coils themselves, as there are two, and the likelihood they both fail out at once is small. The 650s have a known weakness in the fuse box and wiring to the ignition switch. Do you have a multimeter and a service manual? I would recommend putting the battery on a slow charger, then turning the switch to ON without trying to start the engine. You can then work your way through the wiring harness feeding the coils, looking for where you lose voltage.

So here's the problem I'm having bike was running well. I am in Montana and we were having a very hot dry smokey summer and I went away for a weekend and it decided to down pour the whole time and seeing no rain in the future I didn't cover my bike. When I got back it started up a little rough I assumed it was just because it was a little colder and hasn't ran for a couple days. Next day didn't wanna start little battery boost and draining the carbs it started up. Went to work. Got off. Kinda the same method it started was warming it up and then it died. No luck. Sat in a parking lot until I had a day off. Last Sunday came down blew out all the spark plugs. Found a fray in one cap. Through testing found it had to be in the right position to start. Ordered a replacement cap that came last night, replaced it today and now I have no spark in any of the wires. Not sure what's going on. Decided to take a break get coffee because it's becoming frustrating and need to charge the battery. So if anyone has any idea what's going on any help would be much appreciated.
