Check the pigtail with the female end on the hot battery cable, and make sure it is connected to the fuse holder and that the fuse and contacts are good.

There is also a male pigtail on the negative battery cable that provides a negative reference. Make sure that pigtail is still connected and not unplugged.

With the CDI used by Kawasaki it is not a good idea to jumper power anywhere but through the wiring harness. Stray voltage can fry the IC in the igniter in a flash.
