Stupid, stupid computers!
Had a nice, long reply started last night, hit the TAB key by mistake and somehow lost the whole thing!!! :cuss:
Now that I have cooled off a bit, let's see how much of it I can remember.
The electronic ignition has an anti-theft feature. A certain specific resistance must be present IN the ignition switch or it will not work. Maybe your "rabid mechanic" damaged that resistor.
If you haven't already, put in a new plug. I had a SHORTED plug on a thumper years ago and it drove me NUTS for a while.
Overall, I think you really should let a "real" Zuki shop have a go at it. While nothing on the bike is really complicated, some of it is a little tricky.........even for a seasoned mechanic not familiar with the particular model.
Good luck. It IS a nice little bike......when it's running!!
