If the OTHER plug has spark, you're left with the parts specific to the offending plug: it could be one half of your TCI (the transistor control ignition unit), the corresponding ignition coil, the spark plug itself, or any of the wiring connecting the above. That includes of course the thick spark cable from the coil to the spark cap.

This is a rather fortunate situation, however, since if one plug is working, you can switch components between the two sides to find out which is carrying the fault with it to the other side when swapped. One would test all that with both plugs OUT OF THE CYLINDERS, of course, since reversing ignition sequence with spark plugs in-cylinder is not exactly a genius idea.

What is the spark plug gap for an 89 Yamaha virago 1110 CC?

As far as I know, there was no Virago 1110; I suppose you're referring to the Virago XV1100. I don't have it's factory manual, but the Clymer service manual covers it, and according to that the spark gap should be 0.7-0.8 mm, as with most of these bikes. Actually, the required plugs (NGK BP7ES or BPR7ES, depending on who do you trust - the difference is an incorporated series resistor in the "R" plug) seem to come factory-set to that gap, but it never hurts to check, I guess...
