Accel coil revelation

[Guest]

Wow, just installed a set of Accel coils and the bike seems to be a lot faster. More responsive, idles better and fires harder. I am just so happy, had to share. Installation was a sinch....it fired right off after I reassembeled everything. I was like...."what's going on here? Why does it just work instantly like its supposed to? Why isn't it giving me any problems? What did I do wrong by nothing going wrong?" Sweetness.....check one thing off the list! 8)

Rock on!

They do rock, an example of how hard they fire is the recommened plug gap increase. On my bike it is from .024 to .035. Quite a spark to jump that gap-essential on a high compression motor. Rock On, Ed.

Sounds cool. Nothing like having a project actually work for a change.

Is there just one set that works for all these bikes? I'd like to put some hotter spark in the Kat.

You need the 3 ohm NON CDI coils.

On the 1000E ?

My 1000S is in need of some electrical work, and this is on the list.

I might snap a set in my latest 1K when I put the electronic ignition in it.

Yeah, on the 1000E. I can't believe the difference. It feels like a different bike, perhaps my old coils were fading away... Got them, the non-cdi from http://www.accwhse.com/accell.htm

(07284) $119.95 Accel 4 Cylinder 2 Coil Non-CDI #140403

Next thing is the Dyna III which is sitting on the work table.

Do you need to rejet the carbs for these coils, or just open up the gap on the plug and git"R done? My bike is a stock GS 700E, no jet kit, stock exhaust.

Glad you didn't get screwed by MAW (Motorcycle Accessory Warehouse), Dom!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT BUY FROM THESE JERKOFFS

They are big time losers and several members of the forum (myself included) have been treated worse than dirt by them. If ANYTHING goes wrong with an order from them you will be most sorry you ever heard of the place!

A MUCH MUCH MUCH better alternative is Cycle-Re-Cycle Part 2. The coils, performance wires, and mounting kit are $154.95 (which is a better price than buying the coils and performance wires separately from MAW or most other places), and they will treat you right EVERY time!

Steve
