    Changing ignition coils

    Re: Ignition coils Hi Final. I have just removed my airbox again and noticed a hole in the hose of a throttle body....there are 4 small hoses that are capped at the end. Is this in anyway a factor?

    Re: Ignition coils Evening Final, I have borrowed a multimeter and am going to quickly check that the coil I got actually works, as it was off a used bike, check the spark caps and finally the ECU.If it is definitley the ecu then I have one I can buy in the UK for £260, includes all I need...

    Changing ignition coils

    Re: Ignition coils Morning Final and a belated merry xmas. I have been away but I found something interesting. I was sent an 09 ignition coil #1 and #4, but when I looked at my broken one it has a different part number on it, as in 5VX-00-J0383, being an 2006 model part. Mine is an 07, very...

    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. I have a great blast on her for the last 6 years, served me well, been under a car and tried to throw me into a loch once or twice, maybe its time to hang up...

    Changing ignition coils

    Re: Ignition coils Thanks Moto, So me replacing the 1 and 4 coil today was pointless really. Can I just replace the black ECU and put the points I have now in a new one? Or will it still short out? I know nothing about electrics and nobody on this Island can help. I miss my mechanic, he was a...

    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!

    Changing ignition coils

    Ignition coils Good morning, I had some help last night but am still stumped. I have a FZ6 S2 2007 NON ABS, I just need to know if anyone can tell me how to get to the ignition coils without removing the entire Airbox to lift out the battery box, its impossible to get access to remove a coil...

    Changing ignition coils

    Thank you Fazil, I am working on it tomorrow, I will let you know. If its the ECU, I may be looking at getting a new FZ6 as I love them. My bike has been down the road with me attached, so its not worth a lot financially anymore, especially with the very high mileage. Have a good night.

    Changing ignition coils

    Hey Fazil, I looked that up also. My gut says its the coil, I may get very lucky and find a loose wire when I start the job tomorrow on the coil, I have had the bike for its last 51000 miles and have only had to replace the starter motor and CCT, been very lucky considering the roads I use it...

    Changing ignition coils

    Hey, Thank you very much for the advice, may I ask, the red you can see in that pic is at the top of coil #1 and the ground would be underneath out of sight? Sorry Finallmpact, I am a moron. Been riding 20 years with so many mechanics around, where I live now is motorbike heaven, but not one...

    Changing ignition coils

    Thank you for the picture, I have seen it on here, but it looks like you need to remove the airbox to get the battery box back as far as it is in that picture, if you know what I mean? I have taken the cover off the kill switch, was dusty inside but nothing else. Everything on the bike works...
