Default Rear cylinder not firing

Gents, I've seen/read a few posts on this.
Bottom Line: Rear Cylinder is not firing (2008
Code=P1355 Rear Ignition Coil Driver high/shorted


what I've checked and is good to go: - spark plugs, spark plug wires, Coil (ohms), power to coil, replaced crank sensor, injector good to go.

What I will check tonight: molex connection for crank sensor

Swap the wires and you’ll know if it’s the coil. It won’t run very well if at all but you will know.

If he swaps plug wires, he'll also have to swap the primary wires to get the bike to run.

My guess is that either the rear cylinder primary wire is shorted to the coil power wire or the driver circuit in the ecu is toast. (or both)
