replaced clutch springs now it wont start

I'd recheck your fuses first, not visually either. Use a power test light and verify connectivity on both sides of each fuse. Then start checking for power at each of the points in between - kill switch, coils, ignition, plugs, etc.

power at igniter, coils, in spec ohms at pickup..kill switch off, still no spark all fuses good...

looks like i have a peice of scrap in my shed for another 5 months...

Your bike has mechanical advance, so Dyna S DS3-2 will bolt right up and negate any possible igniter issues:

Laying it on its side was silly, but unlikely to **** off igniter, Take off signal generator cover and make sure signal coils/ advance gizmo didn't loosen and/ or freeze up.

im tryin to get a loan for a new bike..i call it quits on this one

[gs850cafe]

when i was putting it back togeatheer today it magically decided to start..

so i rode it had a dead spot... which kinda sorta cleared up here an there...then i took it 10 mile soutta town...it acted up like before

its wide open tryin to pull hills etc...last time the 12v coil relay mod fixed it...now its back

what the hell

It takes patience to deal with these things,you have to learn to stay calm. You might have some loose connections that "magically" heal themselves- recheck everything or sell now while it's running!

My bets on the coil relay mod. Loose connection or bad relay. Actually it sounds like a bad ground
Did you use a pigtail or are you using individual connections on the relay?

Sorry, but if your mechanic skills are anything like your typing and grammar skills you should stop trying to fix the bike.

indivdual connectors...

and kerman i really dont care how i type...no ones perfect...but since you seem to know me im a horrible mechanic who cant speel or right talk potato applejuice...bobwehadababyitsaboy

ive made a ground direct to the frame from battery, grounded out extra grounds the are no longer used(like factory turn signal box) made a common ground location (or 2)...thanks to dan,,

so tommorow ill see how it does...it did start right up though an would rev with a bit of hesitaion...but bike was still a tad cold

also found a very badly burn ground wire under igniter insulation ( got rid of plug)

trere nown ta do strange things wen u drop a bike. stuff like not givin spark and the lyk. wuz my first thaut when you postid yer bike wuz ded. I carry an extra in the bike kit since mine acted up for no reason. Either way, hang in there. These bikes can be tempermental, but they are worth it.
