Has any body here tried fitting an ignition coil from a car to the FJ1100 1984? What are the possible effects? drawbacks?

What is the primary resistance and secondary resistance of the stock ignition coils? Working on a new project here after finishing installing an external voltage regulator  :good2:

Hi

I think it is more interesting to fit 4 individuals mini-coils integrated in the plug cap, like any modern bike. A couple of months ago there was a "how to do" report in Practical Sportsbikes mag. They fitted 4 mini-coils in a 86 GPZ 750

Some people who have the mini-coils want to get away from them...

Well, all modern sport bikes fit a set of individual coils and the GPZ 750 owner, member of the staff of the PS bike, has done a lot of km. in it, track days and rainy days included, and have no problems at all

The report about how to do the coils swap, with electrical scheme, is in the May issue. It doesn´t seem too dificult. In fact, the relay mod I think is more dificult
