no spark no cranking

[chirrin]

hi guys it has been a while since i have been here, well i got another 2001 ducati monster 600, i got it as salvage, so im dealing with the problem that the engine would not crank and i have no spark, the ducati doesnt have the instrumental panel, just the conection.

so i need some help on what to check or i need to know if the motorcycle should crank and turn even though it doesnt have the instrumental panel.

battery is charged, started works ( I tested sepaate by itself and checked the spark too) i checked sidestand switch it works and fuses to, the ducati has light though

if you guys have wiring diagrams or flow charts that would be great.

'01?  No immobilizer, no dash needed.  Charged battery does not mean good battery.  You need to load test the battery or jump the bike from a known good battery.  Kill switch good?  Main and sidestand relay?  Solenoid getting energized?

Thank you for your info i was looking for something a litle more unusual, im not new on basic problems but indeed found the problem, the cables from the safety switch were torn from the inside. had to open the plastic connectors and reassemble. i appreciate your help though i got the manual that is really cool from ducati.
