Comment by gr8paradox on May 27, 2012 at 7:44am: Hey Paternoster, Not much going on in metric underground. Group has more or less been inactive. I couldn't say 100% since I have never worked on Yamaha. But for the most part coils and wires are quite universal. Some coils on Honda for example had the plug wire as part of the coil. But for the most part a coil of the proper ohm rating is fine. Same with wires. I would think 3-5 ohm coil would be fine. Have you checked the manual for coil rating ? Also as far a checking. You might want to check for a more active group than M.U.. There are other groups and the main board forum. There is also chop cult. I am more active over there.

Comment by Sighless on April 23, 2010 at 5:04pm: Gr8, I only have time to post cause my job requires me to sit in front of a computer for hours at a time (and Nebraska weather usualy sucks). So in order to remain semi-sane I cruise cyber space, trying to learn as much as I can.

Burn, it's your bike I want to be friends with not you!

Have a great weekend fella's. Weather looks like it's gonna break, if so I'm cruisin back country highways and BBQ'n some cornfed NE beef!

Comment by gr8paradox on April 21, 2010 at 12:50pm: Hey welcome over here too. People get gung ho with what ever new group pops up. It is hard to stay active with all the different groups and still have a life off line. I got most of my stuff on auto and just get a message when a new post comes in.It is only when I am not working on a project or riding that I have the time to spend on the boards. You sir have been new blood and I am glad you find the time to post.

Comment by Sighless on April 21, 2010 at 6:55am: Hello!? **taps glass** Anyone hear? What happened to all the M.U. members? Here and the site, you have all disappeared! I bought deodorant, I promise to brush my teeth, I swear I'm not the smelly guy anymore!............. Fine if nobody wants to play I'm taking my ball and going home!
