Oilyspanner Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I converted mine 2 years ago, works really well and tidies up the area above the cam cover. Use the GSXR750 Y - K5, 600 K1 - K5, 1000K1 - K8 coils, GSR600 coils are fine too (GSXR600K4/5 engine used). There are other coils that have the correct impedance and length too, but I don't know them well enough. You've got to watch out for failing used coils (they often test okay), often a poor idle or off idle problem in the early stages, at least if you swap them round you can see the problem moves with the coil - by sooted spark plugs/cooler downpipe. Used stick coils are cheap though. With stick coils you don't get HT lead problems, cos there aren't any ! - all low tension wires above the engine, less chance of shorting. Quote Link to comment

Damienga15de Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Make sure the spring which connects to the top of the plug is good too, i have had 2 coils which didnt get enough of a grab on the plug and would come off periodically Quote Link to comment
