Lower stick coils handed?
Posted: Thu Jul 12, 2018 9:15 am
Hi,
I have got the dreaded rough running of a faulty stick coil.
My bike is an 2008 r1200s and has done 29000 miles.
I replaced one of the upper coils with a 2hd unit a few years ago.
I've bought a new upper coil (Chinese copy) from ebay I've changed it but still have the same intermittent rough running.
I haven't found a DIY way to test them other than running the engine with each unplugged at a time but as it is an intermittent problem it would still be difficult to diagnose the faulty coil.
I suspect that one of the lower coils is faulty.
My question is are the lower coils handed? Some are advertised on ebay as left or right handed others aren't.
Regards,
Jon
