            @NINJA welp the positive thing is that now i have a valid reason to get an inner rotor kit

                Uhhmm

                Inner rotor kits aren't that great for road going machines.

                You won't be able to run lights, charge the battery etc.

                Great for racing machines. But then you'd want a lighter chassis etc.

                  @Calum yea i know the disadvantages but its actually going to be cheaper to get an inner rotor kit than to get a brand new stator and i don't know if i would trust ebay

                    @claws Well I have sold loads of stuff on eBay. So you're implying I sell dodgy gear.

                    There are genuine sellers on eBay.

                    That being said, I have bought some right nails before. But price was right.

                            @Calum oh yea and the thing is that there arent any correct stators for sale there. only 2003 or older when i need a 2004 or newer stator

                                @claws I can't remember, Did the belgarda stator also work. Cause I ran the belgarda engine on my RE ignition. Or did I swap the starter

                                Either way, check the electric start TDRs if they were ever a thing.

                                        @oldman are the stators plates or what ever they are called that hold them in the right place screwed onto the block or the magneto cover?

                                          @claws I had the same problem with my DT125X !!

                                          Turned out to be the wiring had come loose. You will need to remove your seat and tank and get ready to start undoing copious amounts of electrical tape!

                                          Once all tape is out of the way you will find a big bunch of black wires terminated together! This termination is standard from factory at Yamaha. It looks like a big blob of solder is connecting them all together.

                                          To be honest it took me a while to finally figure out this was the fault as the connection looks really good and strong however there are so many cables in there and the connect was the problem.

                                          Instead of re terminating the cables I tied a cable tie tight around the neck of the bunch and that solved the issue, Spark plug now Sparks!

                                          Hopefully this helps and get your plug back sparking !!
