I intend on buying a new set of coils. Mine work ok, but they look mismatched. One of them doesn't even bolt onto both studs. I don't want to buy any used coils. I have a stock 82 GS 850L with the stock electronic ignition system. I was thinking of ordering a DYNA set out of Den Kirk. I Just need to know what specs I should stick to. I don't think I need to spend a lot of money on high performance ones. Thanks Chris.
 
I just won an auction for a set off of a newer Katana 600. Look to be the same as stock GS items. I should have them next week and will measure resistance and let everyone know if they are adaptable. Could be a low cost way to replace your coils.
 
i just bought some accel coils from MAW and i am happy with them, they are cheaper then dyna coils and come with a mouting kit and wires, all for 124.00 for a 3 ohm system.

I don't want used.

I don't want used.

Are 3 Ohm concidered high performance. I would like them to be close to stock. I don't want any used coils. even off a newer bike they could have been abused. I know the ones on my bike have been. I used to ride at red line just about the whole way to work. I was 18 then with no kids.
 
3 ohm is what is needed with electronic ignitions. The stock coils are 3 ohm and aftermarket coils are various ratings depending on ignition type. There is nothing wrong with a good used coil. I am still using my 18 year old stock coils and I have ridden my bike very hard in all types of conditions. It is not something that is subject to abuse. They are either good or bad, and either have a strong or weak output. I had a set of Dyna coils that one went bad after only a couple of years. If I could figure out how to use the individual coils they run on the new Gixxers where the coil is built into the plug cap I would be using a used set of those.
 
Oh. Now I see the light.

Oh. Now I see the light.

A little light just went on in my head. I need 12v 3ohm coils. the CDI .7 ohm coils wont work. Thanks.
 
I have accel ....paid 130 for the kit incl coils wires mounts and NGK plugs...Believe they throw a nice spark :oops:
 
some of us have found Dyna coils not an exact match for the stock mounting.
 
Thanks.

Thanks.

I think I'll lean toward the accel set. I would like them to bolt up the right way. Thanks again. Chris.
 
my accel coils werent exactly an exact bolt up but fairly easy to deal with
