engine turns over /has petrol
there is a weak spark
the kill switch is a bit of a pain in the cold
no alarm

Need more info, are you getting any electrics at all, is it turning over or not?
If its turning over is it sparking? Has it got fuel in it / has it hit reserve? Kill switch / sidestand checked (not trying to insult your intelligence but I'm working in the dark so to speak!)
edit;
My first thought is try spraying all exposed electrics with water displacement spray eg kill switch, coils, ht leads, plug caps in case it's something simple like water ingress.
Check battery voltage & recharge if neccesary
Check condition of plugs, see what that reveals
Check condition of HT leads & plug caps
Ensure HT leads making good contact with plugs
Check ignition control unit
Check pulse generator & coils
ensure all wiring connections tight clean & dry, look for broken /chafed wiring
Have you got a Haynes manual? If not try & get one, they have a useful troubleshooting guide in the back.
Good luck!

If you have a spark, the kill switch is ok. you say it has petrol, but have you checked the carb drains to ensure fuel is actually feeding into them.
The petrol switch is vacuum operated from one of the carbs and if the bike has run out of fuel you will need to switch to 'prime' to feed fuel to the carbs, mid way between on and res.
Remember to switch back as soon as engine starts.
If still no start, check the choke cable and linkage it may be that the chokes aren't operating properly.

Wiring is always first check. Look at all connections, earths etc.
