Ebay coils

[nutz4spd]

Has anyone tried the ignition coils you see on Ebay? I was wondering how reliable they are. I see they sell quite a few. The last time I rode mine it shut down after about 15 minutes (going up hill too....in the dark...ugh). After a little while it fired right back up and ran ok. I'm thinking a coil(s) may be going bad so I wanted to replace them. Just for a piece of mind.

Ignition coils are very uncomplicated objects.
I just replaced my original ones with some Dyna 3ohm coils (green body) and unsurprisingly they work just fine.
i would suspect that if you buy your eBay coils and make sure they are the correct ohm rating, and wire them up correctly, and they work, they will be fine. Obviously cheaper parts have less quality control and all that, but what I am getting at is if they were going to fail, most likely they would fail right out of the box.

its more of a gamble than spending real $$ on a name brand product, but it might work out for you.
i would imagine hundreds, even thousands of riders fit budget ignition coils with no issues.
