Dangerous400EX

I wont be able to take my quad to the dealer for a couple days, so I will make sure I am not missing something simple first.
My 400ex MIGHT have two tanks of gas through it so far, its a 2007 model I just bought less than a month ago.
I rode it for a short ride, and while idling in my driveway the quad just quit and would not restart. I pulled the plug and holding the electrode against the exhaust pipe or an engine bolt I get no spark at all. Sounds like the ignition module puked.
I know the machine will not fire in reverse, but I have tried starting it in every gear to no avail. Any suggestions before I yell at my dealer?
BTW my main reason for buying a new quad, and a Honda in particular, is because I wanted ONE thing I owned to be dependable and start when I want it to. I am not a happy camper to say the least. Thanks for any suggestions
