Go to this website and see if your bike would benefit from doing this simple to wire ignition bypass: wiredgeorge motorcycle carburetors - Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Carburetor Sales, Rebuilding and Restoration - Home His website has a similar forum for questions. This envolves a 40 amp auto relay, relay socket,some wire, wire splices an about an hours time.

To check your ignition coils primary side input voltage, remove the gas tank, and with the ignition switch on but the bike not started, read the voltage at the coils with a meter(at the smaller wires). If the battery is fully charged the voltage should be the same minus a very small amount. If it's down around 8 volts, your bike has a big voltage drop.

Many guys have done this ignition bypass with great results at KZrider.com - Home. They have reported a one kick start, and with electric start, barely having to hit the start button.
