Dead Thruxton

Rode my 05' Thruxton (with about 8000 miles on odo) to work this morning. Kind of felt like the power was lacking a little, not enough for alarm, but lacking.

I go to leave for lunch and it just turns over like there's no spark (yes there's gas, it's on, tried venting the cap etc....).
I used the screw driver in spark plug cable to a ground gap and saw nothing....no spark at all.

I work 60 miles from home and have no tools at work, so I had to leave it there.

Has anybody else had this problem? Is it most likely the coil?

Pete_Twizz is the winner! Initial diagnosis by dealer is crankshaft position sensor (ignition pickup coil).

They have submitted a warranty request and should have it repaired in the next week or so. I had no Thruxton over xmas vacation though.....which sucked!
