Default Help no spark!

So it was raining put on over 70 miles yesterday on way from work to parent it just died. Wait a couple of hrs started up, so headed home lost one side ( temp dropped on the bike no power) then after a few miles went down to one cylinder then she quit. Tried this morning and no spark. Called the shop was told it's very rare to have one coil die let alone both. So is there a high side that gets wet or could it be on the l

take your killswitch apart first and check it for corrosion or signs of moisture.

I ride in rain before, then bike dies on me...could not start. Then found out water intrude gas tank. Water & spark don't mix...had to drain gas tank.

Contaminated gas will not have an effect when you take your plugs out and check them for spark.

make sure your battery is charged and atleast 12.5 volts.
i would also start checking electrical connections.
a dying battery and weak charging system can also cause no spark symptoms
check your pulse generator wires comming out of the engine, and the connection under the tank.
