My 2004 FZ6 switched to 2 cylinders last Friday at the end of my commute home. I saw both fault codes 33 and 34. I replaced the plugs and did the "vibration fix" repair to the spark plug boots, and it was great all week until cutting back to 2 again halfway through my way to work yesterday. Like before, I saw fault 34 when I turned it off, then 33 after starting it and turning it off again.
My local shop said that it's a common problem for the ignition coils to go bad on these bikes, but that it's 8 or 900 bucks to have them replaced. They did say that if it's not too difficult to ride, it won't damage anything to ride it in this condition if I can ride it to the shop instead of having it towed (though I do have towing coverage through my insurance).
I'm up for getting my hands dirty. Is there a clear way to troubleshoot the problem myself from here? Is it likely to fix the problem if I just buy a used set of coils off a crashed bike? What do the fine folks of the forum recommend I do?
Thanks in advance!
