Since no one that I'm aware of is offering the coil pack conversion can someone clue me in on how to diy? A parts list and diagram should do it. Asking before buying new stock coils and wires, the project is nearing completion.
Thanks for the input. That was my plan but since the bike is a '86 I hesitate to rely on such old coils. If just one fails its tow truck time from who knows where.
I'm sure it's happened somewhere, but I've never heard of a failed C10 coil in nearly 28 years of ownership and being on the COG Listserver/forum, ZGGTR forum, and several Facebook groups. Even the igniters are pretty bullet proof. J-boxes are the electrical thing most likely to let ya down.
This is one of the best upgrades I did for the concours, but I kinda regret doing it with lack of current support. The harness seems easy enough, and the coils seem easy enough, but I dont think I've ever looked behind the schematics of the whole idea. I love having a nice clean top of the motor since I did the stick coils, and the reed valve deletes.
Here's the link when T was selling the kits. I think that's what you are talking about. You could always pm or email him for info and if he's in a good mood he might respond...or not.
From memory you can use ZX9R stick coils with the OEM igniter. Just wire them in series so 1-4 & 2-3 fire together. This is from memory though. I haven't done it.
