    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

GSX 1100 et ignition coil problem

Hi everyone. I am new to the forum and have a problem with wiring on a new ignition coil I bought. The bike is a UK model gsx1100 et 1979. The original coil (for plugs 1 and 4)has an orange and white wire plus a white one. The new coil has a black and white plus a black wire. There are no markings on the new coil to say which is positive and I need to cut the wires to use the original block connector to connect the new coil. Which wire should connect to which?
Hope you can help.
 
O/W goes to the positive side of the coil and the other on the negative.
 
Thanks for this. But which side of the coil is positive as there are no markings just 2 wires, one black and one black and white?
 
It won't make any real difference normally, but for what it's worth...
If you hold the coil with the HT leads towards you, the + wire is the left one furthest away. If your coils are OE they should be marked, but they might have been replaced at some point.
As I say, not much difference anyway, but two plugs firing in reverse might, just might, give rise to a vibe that shouldn't be there. It's no big deal, but when these engines are sorted out properly they are pretty smooth and you might start chasing odd vibes.
