5th gen "coil on plug" setup project

Also Im not a clown seeing as Ive worked on everythig Ive owned and nothing Ive done has broken. Go be a douche somewhere else.

The clown I'm referring to is the guy in the video...but you are more than welcome to join him in the clowness as you see fit.

You or him or whomever can do whatever the fuck you wish to your bike. Be my guest...but when you modify something , there usually is some type of gain of some sort. There is absolutely no gain in what this guy is doing because all of that shit is buried under the fuel tank and most likely will prematurely wear out the driver in the ignition module.

Does he not realize that there is resistance from the secondary coil through the boot just as there is via a spark plug wire?

I would have hoped he measured the primary coil resistance on both the coil over plug vs the separate coil so he doesn't prematurely wear out the driver in the ignition module. Oh wait he doesn't even know what an ignition module is.

This is the guy that tells you this at a bike night and you're thinking to yourself...what a dolt.

Wow, I can't believe he had to spell out the obvious about who was in the vid

Yeah...even JC didn't get it, read his first post And when someone says just before the video..."I'm just going to go this route..." you assume he pulled it off of youtube and is going to try it out. Sounds to me like he wanted to see what the response was before letting all of America know it was him.

Now I see why you got offended at the clown comment. My bad.

Dude..just measure the resistance across the two pins of the coil/boot assembly...then measure resistance across the OEM coil +/-. If they are close, then you will be fine. If they are much different, then you stand to burn out the ignition module IF the coil/boot assembly resistance is lower.

And I work in Service Engineering for Isuzu...I take shit apart many times per week...not to mention I was a tech for a Mazda dealer for 3 years before Engineering school.

I thought you'd posted in RS' previous threads where he'd done some mods to his bike so I figured you knew from there

I don't think so....never even dawned on me it was him.
