1981 Kawasaki 1100 No Spark. I'm planning on checking charging voltages out of the emm next. The pickup (pulsing) coils on the kawasaki’s with the factory supplied electronic ignition can sometimes fail or become intermittent due to heat and vibration.

I believe it's function is the same as the second generation ignitors, but it looks different, and may. But now it seems that there is no spark but when i turn the key off it fires or when i let up on the starter.

I had a bike that died because the resistor in the right angle cap that hooks to the spark plug opened up. If points, they may be stuck open or closed, if electronic ignition, check the pick up coils (usually behind a cd sized engine cover). If your battery had anything remotely close to a normal full charge and you only measured 8 volts at the coils, then you've already identified.
