I have a 2008 Benelli X50 that I just rebuilt with all high performance parts. It has a MTRT 70 cc kit, 28mm Koso carb, Stage 6 clutch and bell, Malossi belt, Technigas exhaust, 3000rpm torque spring and clutch springs and the Koso roller torque spring seat. Installed new stator, NGK plug NGK plug wire, Mikuni oil pump, etc. Tried to start the bike today and it has NO SPARK!! Checked all grounds...all are good. Checked kill switch and it is working fine. Engine turns over strong, but have NO SPARK, NO POWER TO the black and red power wire to the CDI and of course NO POWER to the coil. This bike has a factory installed VENTO alarm system, that I think may have died. It appears from the wiring diagram that this alarm system activates the ignition on the bike when turned off. This alarm system is remote start equipped. Is it possible that the alarm could be causing me not to get power to the CDI box. If so, does anyone know where I need to jumper the harness in order to remove the alarm and start the bike? Any other ideas on why I have NO SPRAK would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!

Just to make sure, you do have a ground wire from the motor to the frame?
Are you trying to start it with the remote or the KEY?
The remotes are funny If the last time you started using the remote and you shut it off using the KEY the remotes programmed seq is set to be shut off using the remote.
Here is something:
When using the remote you have to push lightning bolt twice to start the scoot.
1st Push of the button turns the ignition on.
2nd push of the button starts the scoot.
If you start the scoot without a key you have to use the "alarm unlock" to shut it off sometimes it may take 2 times then you can use key again.
PRESS THE DISARM on the remote it may be set to on by mistake.
More stuff:
Find the alarm/remote start module... trace the wires to a white plug. Unplug the plug from the wiring harness then if you have a brown/white and a black/white wire in the harness plug join them together with another wire... your scooter should start...
You might try connecting the grey and pink... if you have these colors
Sometimes the alarms have a fuse.. Just leave it plugged into the wiring harness and remove the fuse.. It should start-up
CHECK THE WIRES TO JUMP:
Find the alarm/remote start module... trace the wires to a white plug. Unplug the plug from the wiring harness then if you have a brown/white and a black/white wire in the harness plug join them together with another wire... your scooter should start...
OR: If colors are red/white and black/red JUMP red/white to black/red on the alarm plug
You might try connecting the grey and pink... if you have these colors

Alleyoop,
I will try the things you stated in your post today. I do have the engine grounded to the frame via starter ground. Everything on the bike works electrically, lights. horn, kill switch, starter switch, turn signals and the alarm is cycling. Just have NO POWER to the CDI, thus no power to the coil which of course results in NO SPARK to the plug. I've changed the stator again, but same results. Do you know what the ohm reading should be between the White/grn. wire and Blue/wht. wire? I getting two different readings from the old stator 447 ohms and the new stator 1231 ohms. Checked both stators on the scooter. Any ideas? Thank you.
