  • Backfire/Rough Idle

    After switching to a set of green coils from the stock unit, I am getting a consistant backfire at idle.

    When I give it some throttle, the backfiring stops, but the bike runs VERY rough.

    The ballast resistor was removed as part of the upgrade.

    Double check for crossed wires. Orange, cyl. 1 & 4. Gray, cyl. 2 & 3. Also, maybe a pinched fuel line when reinstalling the tank?

      Thanks Phil, that's exactly what it was, crossed wires.

      Running like a champ again.
