I just got a 200s that had no spark. We found out the pulse generator had too large of a gap due to the cam wearing into the head. We were able to get it running but closing the gap temporarily, but I need a new head and cam.

Pull off your CDI cover on the left side of the head and measure the gap between the rotor and pickup. I think it's supposed to be .016". It's a quick check and will rule out at least one part of the electrical system.

that happened to me as well and it turned out to be the fuel cap not venting. next time you go riding and it starts doing that again open the cap slightly and if she picks up problem solved.if not.. ya ignition or possibly coil.carry a spark plug wrench with ya too and if it still dies when you open the cap take the plug off to check for sperk.
