bike doesn't run well anymore

Yea, Im having a fitting problem with the coils.  The lower coil mount/tube the bolt goes thru, the tube looks too long, is all.  If I cutoff a little the coils should line right up.


Its also those rubber mounts on top are hard to get in the mount holes.  They were a tight fit with the stock coils too.

What I remember doing is cutting off one side of the rubbers.  Don't remember which side but probably the outside to push the coils apart.

Then I bought a longer bolt for the bracket.  Done.

ok.  I got the coils in. its a tight fit, for sure.  I had to shave a portion of the casing of the coil to get them in as there is a raised thin long rectangular shaped part of the casing they print 3 Ohm and a number on.  those two raised portions meet and make it necessary to remove them. I just trimmed it down to the casing level and it went together MUCH easier, no longer bolt needed. the casings do touch but it all goes together.

the trick is getting the upper coil post to slide into the rubber cap first. Its not a straight shot as the coil is too large.  I filed the post edges and corners to round them as they were sharp and catching on the rubber cap.  I used a little silicone grease to help with getting the post in.   Once the upper post goes in, the lower post holes will line up.
