Coil & Ht leads
« on: 10 March 2016, 05:34:34 pm »
I have a 2003 fox eye fzs600
Under the petrol tank is the 2 coils. Does anyone know if the leads unscrew from the coil ?
The reason I'm asking is, I've just taken off plug caps from Ht lead, and screwed back onto the lead, but the plugs kept on turning, no tightening at all.( bike fired up , great though ) I might get away with trimming 1/2 an inch off leads, and screw caps back on, but it will be a tight one. So thought if the leads do unscrew from coil, I could simply get 4 new leads and screw caps back on.

Leads are sealed to the coils, trimming is a good idea but make sure the leads are long enough before trimming...ie, they have not been trimmed before  ;)

If you unscrew the caps & with a small screwdriver or bradawl move the little wires in the end of the lead around the edge of the hole a bit then screw the caps back on.

Cheers bud. I will try that tomorrow. Might just see if I can trim a little to.
