Hey guys,

I am in the process of relocating my coil between the rockers and the way I want to mount it the plug wires are going to be on the wrong side. I was wondering if any one had any info on the coil harness and which wires would need to be switched for this to work.

I have a 08 883 and the harness is like this

1)Blue/ orange stripe
2)Yellow/black stripe
3) Yellow/green stripe
4) Yellow/green stripe

I have heard allot of different stories about how to do this.

1) both plugs always spark at the same time (both at top and bottom) so a switch isn't necessary.
2) 2 of the wires are the "fire" wires for the plugs and they just need to be switched.....I just don't know which ones they are : (


Any info you guys have would be greatly appreciated, I know the first comment is going to be "get a service manual".....I know I know I need one but I am trying to hold out until the after thanksgiving day sale my dealer is having (25% off)

Thanks for the help guys

It depends on whether you have a single or dual fire ignition system.
You don't give any info on the year of your bike.........

 

Its a 2008 883 standard, can you explain the difference between a single and dual fire ignition system?

Thanks

Got the answer,

Wires 1 & 2 are the "fire" wires, and wires 3 & 4 are power wires for each.
Just have to pull and switch wires 1 & 2 to reverse the orientation of the coil.

Thanks
