I checked the spark by leaving the original plug in the bike to keep a load on the starter and wiring. I pulled off the spark plug boot and inserted a new B8ES plug.
When I depressed the starter button there was no spark for 2 seconds then some spark for about a half second and then no spark for a couple seconds. I did this 3 times with the same results each time.
So while cranking when the engine is cold there is mostly no spark. The outside air temperature was 80 deg F.
