COPs are great...got mine from Gannon too...good instructions...just use a good Philips or a small ratchet with a Philips head as some of those babies are on tight!!

 

[PaulVmax]

I had to use vise grips for rear coil screws . Left front coils on to much a pain to take out !

 

[Traumahawk]

I left my front ones in...had to use a JIS screwdriver after the rear screws started to strip.

i have a impact driver ill use that and plenty of penitrating oil

Impact driver on screws for the coils OK but please heed this, below for other notoriously hard to remove stuck fasteners on our bikes.

Going to an aftermarket exhaust like a UFO 4/1 and COP's, where you remove the heavy exhaust, centerstand, and coils, and replace your lead battery w/a lithium-ion one, you can lose 30 lbs, easily.

I caution against an impact driver on your delicate carbs! Use a pair of straight jaw Vise Grips before you do that. The Vise Grips will loosen any of the screws that you can't get undone. Using an impact driver could cause you to cry for days when you fracture a carb body. Want some incentive to go the Vise Grips route? From Ron Ayres Motorsports fiche:

+1 on that. I cracked one of my carb manifold using one. I use the vise grips now on the more delicate parts

 

[PaulVmax]

Ok thanks for the heads up no uses of the impact drive noted

 

[PaulVmax]

i have a full kerker 4 into1 system on and i have no center stand

 

[Traumahawk]

I had one of the coil screws that was stripped...used a JIS screwdriver on it....and out it came.

 

[PaulVmax]

Jis ?

Japanese Industrial Standard-different from metric in some ways, but uses a metric base.

Yes, die-cast parts can crack easily!:damn angry: Plus the alloy isn't particularly-strong, or thick.

Harbor Freight has a very small impact driver that works great on the bike. Really cheap also. Gentle taps using it have loosened all my stuck screws on delicate assemblies. Have used it on carbs also. Just be gentle.

Here is a pic. They are a bit pricey, but they seem to fit so much better in the screws.
