Welcome Marie. I would purchase the Yamaha items. They are a known quality and will work and last for a long time. The same can not always be said for aftermarket electronics, which are usually made in China. In the US we have many options for on-line purchases. Unfortunately I can't recommend an on-line retailer in the EU.

Thank you. I have a shop here in my town, but hoped to find something on-line. So far no luck. Thanks for your answer.

If you can find a seller on E Bay, it's really not that expensive to ship overseas from the US. The customs form is the biggest PIA (really not that bad).

Welcome to our great forum Marie!

As additional information, I cross referenced the coil for 1 and 4 cylinder and found it is the same part number for S1 2004-2006 and S2 2007-2009 model FZ6. The parts fiche I looked it up on was at www.ronayers.com
The part number for all FZ6 1 and 4 cylinder is 5vx 82310-00-00

I am a form believer that making decisions is easy, it's laying out the options that is the hard part. So here is an option....

Take a look at post #193 by BuzzBomb:

Vibration! A cure for bad vibrations, Spark Plug Caps!!

If your bike has vibrations in the seat, handle bars or foot pegs, read on as this procedure "may" help reduce some of those harmonic vibrations. If you can remove the spark plug caps, you can check this and correct this condition. WHAT IS THE CAUSE?: The the Spark Plug Cap (SPC) threads into...

He replaced the 2 FZ6 coils with 4 FZ07 coil-over-plug parts. And read further and you will see that I followed his lead and did it as well. I found the FZ07 parts cheap and available. Spent about $50 for the 4 coils, about $15 for the Furukawa FW 090 connectors, and a few dollars for wire. If you are comfortable crimping wires and connectors, this solution is not as complicated as it looks.

Replacing both coils on the FZ would cost me about $150 if I buy the parts at a discounted price. I replaced mine for less than half.

Just food for thought.....

For no other reason than to see if it would work, I went with a COP on my DRZ. Right out of the box it worked perfect...in fact I didn't even really think about it until I read the thread you liked above. If I was having ignition issues, I wouldn't hesitate to convert to a COP ignition.
