Ignition coil nuts

[igoldin74]

This must be a stupid question and maybe it was asked before but here it is: on ignition coil there’s a stack of spacer, nut, grover washer and another nut. What is the right way of arranging it when mounting coils to the frame?

Spacer and one nut below and the second nut above the mounting bracket.
Don't think it matters much where the lock washer goes.
Bottom of the bracket if you are running out of clearance ?

There should be a nut on the coil assembly already, if not, put one there, on all four posts.

Looks like G850 has a different setup. I think on a GS650 the coils mount on top of frame bracket, not underneath it.

This should help ... i place a lock washer under the top nut too (not shown in the Suzuki partslist but i like that better)

That'll give you a good ground.
