Default 2009 KLX250S not getting spark

My bike isn't getting spark I replaced the coil and wire, spark plug, cdi box, and starter relay. I have followed the wires none of them looked messed up. The only thing I have not replaced was the stator. I wasn't sure if I should replace that or if there was another relay or anything I could replace to see if it works. If I cant get it fixed then ill take it to a bike mech. but would like to save some money. Would love help to get it back on the road again. Thanks

Faulty kill switch or wire to the kill switch is grounding? Shot in the dark. Do you have a wiring diagram and/or shop manual?

Kill switch was my first thought as well...

The stator should not stop you getting spark, look elsewhere

I forget, but I think if the kill switch is activated, the starter will not run. That is the way the beamer is.

Someone may check this as my kawa is in timeout.

Yeah, durielk is right, kill switch kills spark and starter. Best place to start would be that switch.
Is or has the kickstand safety switch been checked? Clean the switch with contact cleaner or check out how to disconnect it in the stickies.
Next check the neutral safety switch. First, that it's plugged in. This can also be disconnected, but will allow the bike to run the starter in gear with the clutch engaged.
Check and clean all the grounds on the bike.
Is the ignition still intact? If it's missing you'll need to add a resistor so the CDI will work (others have done this on this bike, I think), I had to do that to my old EX-500 when I had the same problem.
If all that has been done. And your sure it's still not got spark, then test the stator with a multimeter.
After that? Find a good mechanic and explain all you've done.
Good luck. It's probably something simple.
