Even though you have voltage coming to and from the cdi does not conform it’s working.  

Two ways to see if it’s the cdi. 1 is find a used on from another bike same type and swap it and see if that fixed it. 2 is try to dry it out and see if that works.  Most cdi units go bad due to moisture.  Try to put it in the oven for 10 min on 250 deg.  Let it cool down and give it a shot.  If the spark works then obviously a cdi replacement is needed. The heating it up is only a temp fix as it will loose spark again. 

This worked for me but I had to replace the cdi bc it def failed again after a day or two due to moisture re entering the cdi. 

As far as testing the stator and regulator, ignition coil are all within spec with an ohm meter ?

Yes everything else checks out with the ohm meter only thing I haven't tried was my kill switch could be screwed and some one Also said the two black wires on the break lever sometimes go bad. Was told to cut them and ground them out is this true

The two black wires on the brake lever ? A parking brake that has to be pulled in for the bike to start? I don’t think a bike of that age would have that. But double check. Also the kill switch. Simple test is to look for the two wires that kill the bike. Most are black with a white stripe and all black.  You have to put a continuity tester on the two wires at the switch and see if it rings when you hit the kill switch.  In order to do this properly you have to have the manual to see exactly what wires to test  

Have you tried what i said with the cdi ?

      My 1992 TRX00 recently stopped firing.  I understand this is a common problem. I have ordered an aftermarket CDI unit.    TJ

      I have a 1990 Honda fourtrax 300 2x4
      I rode the other day for 30-45 min. Switched it off and now it is completely dead..
      battery is fully charged, fuses are good . WILL NOT TURN OVER ,
      headlights won't turn on , No neutral, reverse or oil temp lights . Electrically it is completely dead !!! I replaced the key switch and CDI box , STILL NOTHING.
      I bypassed the neutral safety switch and grounded it to the battery and still nothing !! I used a jumper wire on the starter Solenoid , the motor will turn over but not start . I even bypassed both fuses and straight wired it to see if I could get a neutral light or headlights still nothing . What could it be ?

      Hey all, new to the forum! I just bought a 1998 Kawasaki bayou 300, 4x4 not running. Initially I found no spark. Ended up playing with the plug wire (made sure plug top and wiring was touching) and got spark yesterday and the quad fired up off ether. Come to work on it today and now no spark again. Before I got spark and now today if I touch the plug after cranking I get shocked, and it will spark after I release the starter button. I was jumping the quad with a freshly charged car battery that has 12v while cranking. Cleaned out the kill switch and ignition button. All looks good. Purchased new plugs. They're are a lot of wires cut/ disconnected. But shouldn't matter if I got spark without them connected...
