So this has proven to be damn hard for me :/ Where can I get coil packs for zxr 250 c model ?:/ Or just some generic or other brand ones that are the same ?
You need to check the service manual for the specifications of the coil packs, and do some searching. Found some on buyee - http://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/o149966016
This thread is in the wrong area isn't it ? What is wrong with your coil's ? Have you checked them with a multimeter ? Should be 2.5Ω - 3.5Ω for the primary reading's, and to test the secondary reading you first need to unscrew the spark plug cap's from the end of the lead, put 1 lead from your multimeter to one of the terminal's on the coil and the other lead need's to touch the wire inside the spark plug lead (where the spark plug cap was screwed onto) then you should get between 12K Ω (12,000Ω) and 18K Ω (18,000 Ω) from each lead If you can't get a reading you may need to trim 20mm or so off the end of the spark plug lead if the lead's are long enough
Sorry i messed up above, to test the primary reading's set your meter to 200 Ω, put one lead from your meter to one terminal on the ignition coil and the second lead from your meter to the 2nd terminal To test the secondary reading's set your meter to 20K Ω (20,000 Ω), put one lead from your meter into one lead ( where you unscrewed the spark plug cap from, and other lead from your meter into the other spark plug lead end
Coils themselves don't really have a limited service life. What will kill them are faults in the electrical system, like a failed regulator. Shorts in the spark plug boot can do it over time as well. In my case with the zeal, the hotwiring bodge job killed the ECU, which then sent a constant 12 volts to one coil, rather than just sending a 12 volt pulse to it when it needs to fire the plugs. For the 'coil-on-plug' type (one for each plug), what kills them is the insulation breaking down, and shorting against the engine, which exacerbates the the insulation breaking down, until they totally burn out. If you keep the electrical/charging system in good condition, and replace the spark plug boots if necessary, the coils should last indefinitely.
I wouldn't worry too much Khaiden, not about that sorta thing. Just enjoy the ride for now. And get down to a club event... one coming up probably late next month!
I agree with Joker and Linkin, if you want to do some maintenance on your ignition, just go around the loom and find any plug's and socket's that can be pulled apart Take them apart and check the condition of the terminal's inside, they should be clean (zinc/tin silver, or brass coloured) without green corrosion or dark, brown or white crusty buildup on them If there is any corrosion you can clean it up with some contact cleaner like any of these http://www.jaycar.com.au/electronic-circuit-board-cleaner-spray-can/p/NA1008 http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/on...Board-Cleaner.aspx?pid=347119#Recommendations http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/on...-Cleaner-290g.aspx?pid=299674#Recommendations http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/on...c-Cleaner-300g.aspx?pid=13177#Recommendations Then once it's clean use some Dielectric Grease / Bulb Grease / Igntion Grease on all the terminal's inside the plug's and socket's to keep them clean for the rest of their life http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/on...-Grease-33-oz.aspx?pid=379868#Recommendations Check all you earth's are good and go to a clean bare metal spot on your frame etc, pull them off and clean where it bolt's to and put a smear of Dielectric Grease there to help prevent corrosion If you can see any of the copper wire's in the end of the terminal's that have black/green corrosion on them then that can also make a bad contact and increase the resistance through the wiring. Sometime's you can get away with trimming back an inch or so off the end of the wire and replace the terminal too. But in some case's it will require you to run a new piece of wire with new terminal's fitted. Take you Ignition Coil's off and clean up the end of the core plate's that usually double as the coil's mounting point's. Scuff off any rust etc and smear the wHole metal end of the coil with Dielectric Grease I usually put a thin smear of Dielectric Grease over the whole coil, including the terminal's and in an plug's and socket's. Use some Dielectric Grease on the end of your spark plug's too so they get a decent contact on the spark plug terminal's
