check the kill button,is it the hold in and it earths type,follow all the wires and check any connectors by unplugging them,cleaning then replugging,pulse coil might be dead.

i tried to pull the flywheel last night. it wouldn't budge . so it sort of flared out the stud a tad and not having luck putting the nut back on very upsetting. so unless i can look at this pulsar coil i may just have to take it to the shop i didn't try putting heat to it cause i didn't want to melt any lacquer or plastic off the stator. chased the wires for a bit the kill switch has been removed prior to my owning this bike. i also disconnected the light connection trying to get it just down to sparking the plug.. I don't want to damage the stud any further so unless there is a trick to pulling this flywheel i may leave it to the shop that's going thru the bottom end.

you could probably use one of these?this is honda tool number 07933-0010000,i bought this as a kid for my xr75,its fitted heaps of bikes in the years,like yammies even,too bad you dont live next door.
