So coils installed, I made a alu plate , about 100mm long, to go across and join the coils from one side to the other, where the old coils were. Covered it in thick shrink adhesive conduit and cut out places so it earthed to the old mount.
Cut the wires, blue to +, and green to -.
The red+ is not touching the shrink, well insulated from the plate
Thinking to make another plate to join the bottom mounts to the old coil bracket
The holes cut look a lot better than here,
I added some cable ties to stop it vibrating, may make a lower plate later when I have some time.
Certainly started well and idled from cold a lot better, about 15c ambient temp. Seems its usual healthy, on the freeway a quick twist and up to 140kmh. The quicker starting is what i was looking for, so happy there
However, and there is always a however with these bikes
, under full load it hesitated a couple of times, but then cleared. Sort of like its oiling up the plugs.A few hard accelerations and its all gone.
Newish plugs; NGK iridiums only a few hundred kms old, new plug leads - magencors.
I did change the pipes from the Staintune Contis to Staintune with the 'tube end' . They seem a little quieter but don't see any reason why they would cause a misfire.
