Hi -new owner with a 1996 Tiger which is lovely but very frustrating ! Bike starts fine when cold but after about 10 miles or so it cuts out - no spark but the starter motor turns over fine, battery and all electrics work ok. Leave it 20 mins and it starts up again no problem.
I've already changed the ignition sensor and used a different CDI - all to no effect.

If the side stand switch was faulty would the starter motor still work ??
Any suggestions gratefully received !

It's the ignition pick up sensor on the RHS crankshaft , cost is about 70 US Dollars and you need to set the air gap to the timing disc to be about the thickness of a match book .
Your tigger will be a happy camper when you replace it .
