For Ducati Monster 696 crankshaft position sensor suspected with no spark no fuel, I would slow the job down for ten minutes and make the evidence visible. Guessing feels fast, but it usually makes the repair longer.
Keep the original setup in mind. Many faults appear after a small change, and the change is often more useful than the symptom.
For students, this is exactly why I built the free Motorcycle Mechanics Course on this platform. It teaches the method behind fuel, spark, compression, charging, diagnostics and safe workshop habits, so problems like Ducati Monster 696 crankshaft position sensor suspected with no spark no fuel become a sequence instead of a guess.
Add the model year, mileage, recent work and what changed before the problem started. With that, the next test becomes much easier to choose.
This helped a lot. I will make one change, ride it, then update the thread so the Ducati Monster 696 crankshaft position sensor suspected with no spark no fuel discussion has an actual ending. This should make the Ducati Monster 696 crankshaft position sensor suspected with no spark no fuel thread useful for the next person too.
