intermittently losing spark

[jeremyshee01]

Started my banshee up, ran great for about 10-15 min then it cut out for a split second (as if I hit the kill switch) then came back on and was fine. The more I rode the worse it became. the lost spark would last for longer durations and happen more frequent. As I was trying to make it home I would let it coast in gear while it was happening and sometimes it would pick back up and go for a short distance. Others it would come to a stop. I'd kick it and it would always fire back up on the second kick and run perfect until it happened again. If I let it cool down I could make it a much longer distance before it took a shit again, as if the temperature played a part. All electrical components are brand new oem except the coil (I know that doesn't mean the cant go bad). My question is: what component, while starting to go bad, would get worse the warmer it got? I was thinking the coil but didn't wanna go buying shit till I asked you guys. Would trimming the wires back be a possible fix? not sure on that since it doesn't do it cold. I don't fucking know, sick of this electrical shit. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Check your plug boots for cracks. Trim back your coil wires and then double check your ground.

if you have access to a CDI box plug it in and see what happens.

buy a multimeter if you don’t have one already and check continuity where you can

Sounds like a coil or a stator. Get an ohm meter and measure resistance, I'd be willing to bet one of those is out of spec.
