Replacemen t Coils?

Thu Dec 08, 2005 5:40 pm » Post: #1 » Download Post

Okay, so I ordered some coils, and my supplier got word back from Honda that they are discontinued, and out of them (I got one, but need another).

Has anyone found a good replacement for these? The bike is an MC21.

Thanks

Hi,

I think from looking at them that NS400 and NS125 coils are the same. If you're stuck, I think you should be ok to use a coil off a different bike, esp if you pick a bike with similar cc per barrel.

The brand new one I "did get" from Japan was like $45.00. About the same price as coils on other Honda Coils here in the states?

The wrecker question? Well I got a couple used ones. That's the problem, I want new Wink


Thanks

Okay, I guess I got a little ahead of myself, and took my pants off!

Seems I miss-understood my supplier. The Front coil is no longer available from Honda while the rear coil is. Honda is simple recommending to use the rear coil, and cut the plug wire down to size.

Okay, I'll stop building that bunker out back, as I thought the world was coming to an end.

Thanks

Charles,
Honda uses that same style coil in ALL KINDS of stuff! I have a 1990 XR250 which uses an identical coil (different plug cap, though) and have seen them on all sorts of other things from scooters, NSR50s, 80s, etc.

If you have the head conversion on, using the upper coil is a plus anyway. You can use the lower plug cap on an upper coil and the lead is long enough you can mount the coil in the stock location.

Hmm thats interesting you got a coil for $45, the local honda dealer was gonna charge me $150 used until I figured out my CDI was buggered and not the coil... Embarassed But I guess living in NZ adds $$ to these things.
