    Changing ignition coils

    Re: Ignition coils Thanks Final, Please do merge. I am not forking out for a new ecu and key system as the bike is not worth the outlay.

    Changing ignition coils

    Re: Ignition coils Thanks Dan, Just done the deed, yes, the airbox was a lot easier than it looked, only 4 hoses and the air temp plug. I got out the old coil...ruined, crack down the positive side, have fitted the new one, have not put the bike back together yet, but fingers crossed!
