fishermanferg Posted November 10, 2016 Posted November 10, 2016 i have decided to put new coils ,on my bike its a 1992 xv535 2yl what are the best ones to buy aftermarket ones
blackhat250 Posted November 10, 2016 Posted November 10, 2016 I buy all component from RexSPEED SHOP , COZ I KNOW THEY WILL LAST ,. most on ebay are cheap imports,
fishermanferg Posted November 13, 2016 Author Posted November 13, 2016 thanks for reply the rexspeed shop I could not finf my model listed ,so I bought a pair of coils from a dealer called yambits do you think they will be ok the ohms seem different ,thedealer says they are a quality replacement
blackhat250 Posted November 13, 2016 Posted November 13, 2016 Tell them there is a difference,, logged , so if bother a replacement will be due, I bought some parts of Yambits, the pictures showed shiney replica parts [ bolts etc, ] an received black bolts, other parts looked cheap too, .

neversaydie Posted November 13, 2016 Posted November 13, 2016 Dont compare the readings between the new and the old. Resistances for the new should be: Primary: 3.8 to 4.6 ohms @20 degrees C Secondary: 12,000 to 14,500 ohms @ 20 degrees C Take the plug cap off for checking the secondary
fishermanferg Posted November 14, 2016 Author Posted November 14, 2016 thanks neversay I'm not to adept at using a multimeter but the old coils that's if I done it right showed a reading of 4.1 ohms whereas the new ones were 2.1ohms what do I set the multimeter at for secondary
neversaydie Posted November 15, 2016 Posted November 15, 2016 Secondary readings are in the thousands, so youll have to switch your meter to read in that range. Normally, the ohms (resistnace) range scales up in factors of ten, so hopefully your meter will have a dial that looks like this resistance range is the one with the horsehoe. Primary is measured with the dial set at 200. Secondary (12k to 14.5k), move your setting to 20k (k = 1,000) Your meter may differ and may read 100/1k/10k/100k etc. In that case, you would set at 100k as 10k would be too low. Unless youve got a really good meter with just one range Always zero your meter first, or check by holding the probes together and ensure it reads zero By the way, id be concerned that the new ones only read 2.1 Hope this helps
