Did you verify that spark is the issue visually by holding the plug against the engine in the wire while cranking or is a spark issue your best guess?

Well, if all you did was to park it and it started acting up , then it's most likely a loose connector or sabotage.
You have any enemies at work?
Did it get wet?

Not to insult your intelligence, but there is a kill switch on scooters on the right side grip switch assy. It indicates run by a circular arrow, and stop is the same arrow with an X through it on my scoot. Is your kill switch set to run? Here's a couple of examples:   |

Here's a couple of examples: Yes the kill switch is set to run in fact my kill switch is very similar to the one shown in your first example |

Okay well I had to ask.  If you already tried a different CDI then it's probably a loose connector plug somewhere. Maybe the one for the key switch behind the front fairing, or possibly one of the two connections on the ignition coil has come off. I would just go through and check every connector you can find. |

Today I checked every connector I could find doesn't the CDI control the spark if so how do I check to see if power is going to the CDI the chance of two CDIs being bad are slim any other suggestions |
