My 08 K9 decided to misfire during a ride which ended up being no spark in the front jug we've replaced the coil then there was a bad spot in the twin Tec ignition wire so they changed it out and I still have no spark in the front jug the reason they're doing the work is because it was convenient for the breakdown so they're scratching their head a little bit any information would be helpful
One big question I have that a lot of guys can't answer is why do I have to ignitions on that bike twin Tech and a Thunderheart under the seat

Probably have two ignitions cause whoever put the twintec in was too lazy to take the old one out.

Have they confirmed if the front jug now actually is getting a spark? Cause that would be the first thing I'd be confirming to make sure there isn't another wiring issue.

So just to be clear the bike does Not have two ignitions? It has been rewired with "wires Plus " to eliminate the stock EHC. Would the old ignition be considered a relay then , if left behind for some reason?

Nope...no reason for it to even how power if you have the twin Tec now in the nose cone. I'd be willing to bet it doesn't even turn on because someone would have had to splice in power to it via the WP, which would have been really idiotic but it just adds a wiring mess.

Your tech should be able to check power in and out of the ignition under the seat and once everything is confirmed that it's not doing anything they should be able to remove it along with all the wires.

Cleaning it up should help track down the issue which Im willing to bet is a bad wire somewhere unless you have no compression in the front jug..haha
