coils

Hey Guys, How difficult is it to get to the front coils? It looks like a nightmare... I have limited space to work on the bike, mainly on the street... This doesn't lend itself well to anything too complicated and my motorcycle mechanic skill level isn't exactly an A+... I was...

Do you have to remove the front ign coils to test the secondary resistance,or can you remove the plug cap and test them through the HT lead.

Hey guys.... I have 4 coils from my 98 Vmax, all ohm out to factory spec. The two that were under the seat have the typical cracks that as I understand it don't affect performance. The two that were under tach have no cracks. I'd like to get $80 for the four coils, shipped free via USPS to...

2003 Vmax I had the coils raised yesterday to access the battery, and noticed what looks like a crack in the plastic covering of each coil. Bike is running fine. Anything to worry about??

OK, still no spark from the rear coils. I have exhausted all my capabilities. Have tried 3 different ignition boxes and all 3 (the original and a loaner and a bought used one from a runner) still don't correct the problem. I have cleaned all the connectors and continuity tested all involved...

I installed a new battery today and noticed both coils are cracked in the bottom side (~3 inches cracks). I checked the resistance in both coils and I am getting normal readings 13.58 secondary resistance, 3.2 primary resistance so I used Permatex hi-temp black silicone to fix the cracks...

In the next month I want to do the following three tings to my 85vmax 1; Replace all the water hoses with silicone hoses. I see some cheap Chinese ones and was wondering if they were any good or if someone has used them and they are ok or rubbish? 2;my bike has a little tappet noise on the...

Ignition Coils Testing High I've had a nagging problem for awhile where the bike will run great until it reaches 5 or 6K rpm then it feels like it's missing intermittently. Carbs, ignition box, charging system, pick up coils, and fuel pump all check out. Today I tested the ignition coils and...

Can some tell me what is the positive and negative wires, for 1 through 4 cylinder coil wiring. And what side of the coil sticks would be + or - I went up to the junk yard for car parts and found they had few wreck motorcycles. I pick up 14 sets of 4 coil sticks and found 6 sets was 3.0...

Back coils are easy so no instructions needed (remove seat-thats about it) Front coils are a bitch. Even worse when you find a PO was there before you and fu the screw heads. I can rebuild an engine faster the I can swap out the front coils. SO heres how you do the fronts 1 put key in...

OK -problems when bike gets wet-assumed wires or boots-got parts today. Took off seat and scoops, got to rear coils. Plugs look good, bad boot on left rear-was replacing it anyway. On right rear I see crack in coil. Remove coil and find cracks on top and bottom. Got ahold of sean, told me...

I currently dont have a good manual on this bike. Cylinders 4,3 are not firing correctly. Would like to test these parts and could use some information to proceed.

I pulled my coils today after I was getting an inconsistent running sound and thought it maybe electrical. It was! One of my coils is bad. The other 3 have some cracking but they all test good. BTW, the Haynes manual says 2.4-3.0 for the resistence and mine are all around 3.9 Does this sound...

Have the dyna 3000 so i added the dyna dc3-2 coils nice big blue spark, so i took one of the plug wires and put a spark plug in it so i could see the spark held it close to the frame and was jumping around 1/2" that's a pretty good jump . So i figured more gap on the plug stock is 35 thousands...

Just wondern if if anybody ever use them with the dyna 3000 and how do you like it if you did

How do you get the RPM sensor to work on a bike with COP's coils when having a dyno test done? Do the dyno guys have another way than clamping around plug wire to get RPM's? Gary

Just got my carb boots installed, cleaned the carbs, resynced the carbs, now my bike idling like --ap!! I disconnected the plug from #3 coil and it made little to no difference in the way the bike idled. Put #3 back together and disconnected #1 and same thing, little to no difference in the way...

Hi guys, I have been searching the "net" for 2 hours trying to find some plug leads for my 88-VMax, does anyone know a website I can go to and also what is a good brand? Also I have a small crack in 3 of the coils, I put a sealant on the 2 rear ones already will this be ok? The bike gets...

Been looking for a set of front coils 2006 or so and newer Gen 1. Anyone got a pair or 4 for sale or otherwise?? I figure there must be plenty sitting around with the COP Upgrade guys. Let me know. TIA. Off to Fleabay......

As it reads, I have done a lot of research about the COP mod and recently bought the dyna coils instead. Well now Gannon has incorporated the resistor for early model bikes w/ dyna ign. Would it be an advantage to now switch to COP's or stick with current set-up?
