RC600R weak spark problem

Hello,
Yesterday I tried to start my RCR and nothing, no matter if I used starter or kickstart. I chanced to plug and spark is really weak. I measured all the component I could and everyhthing seems to be ok.
This model has the inductive ignition system. Usually it is easy to start.
What could be wrong or broken?
Carbs are ok and this is not a fuel problem.

Hi Hahne,
What do you mean? controll timing belt?
Belt is almoust new, ~2500km. Do you mean that timing is not ok anymore? And how does this make anyhting for weak spark?

Timing is ok and belt is like a new and belt tension is ok. Problem is weak spark not timing belt.

Is the cable towards the spark and/or the connection to the ignition coil and/or the connection to the spark plug ok?

Problem solved, spark plug hat was bad. After changed a new hat spark is strong again.

I was not so lucky. During rebuilding and measuring electric components again I found that pick up is only 116Ohm. RCR it should be 150Ohm. 117 +-10%Ohm is normal for capasitive ignition system, but I have inductive ignition.
That may be the basic problem, but could it be the reason whitch brokes the spark plug hat?
And where to find a new pick up???
