Ignition Coil Replacement (Read 67 times)

Remove the two screws and disconnect the two wires on the side. Then reverse the order when installing the replacement? I only ask because it just seems to be my luck that its never as easy as I think its going to be.

Hey zipidachimp! Funny you should ask and I hope my mistake does educate. So I've changed automotive spark plugs many times over the years. Never done a motorcycle before. Never owned one till now. Recently picked up a '03. Don't know much on the maintenance history so trying to do preventative items. Pulled the old plug and it was pretty dirty. I'm thinking its running a little rich? Backfires quite a bit. Anyways, put the new plug in and the boot won't go on. I look at the old one and see that the terminal "cover" is missing. Just a little threaded nub on the old one. I assume it pulled off somehow and is stuck in the boot. Lighting was bad and hard for me to see into the boot but I reason that has to be the problem. Fiddled with it for a while and and ended up taking the guts out of the boot. That is when I realized that I was searching for a piece that was never in there to begin with Sad

I kinda messed the boot up and honestly not sure what order the parts go back into the boot. There is a spring and a small rod that goes in first but I have no idea which goes first. So I got a used OEM one off eBay to replace it. It would be my luck I put the pieces in wrong and it causes some sort of electrical damage.

Re: Ignition Coil Replacement Reply #6 - 08/28/21 at 17:32:26 Well,, it's too bad you already replaced the plug. The plug sits down in a cavity. Dirt gathers in there. I did it. But realized the mistake, took toilet ring wax on a stick and probed the cylinder and fished out junk. In the future blow that cavity out before you move the plug.
