Is the coil used on this bike a combined coil and ignitor?

Is it a single coil that fires 2 plugs like a waste spark system or is it a dual coil that fires the plugs individualy?

Thanks...

The coil fires each plug separately. The ECM controls the coil. The FI bikes are different than the carb bikes. I don't think you could get a dual fire coil to work with the ECM.

I am not trying to do that rather I just wanting a quick and cheap fix.

My bike is intermitently running on 1 cyl. Plugs are fine, wires are fine, coil has one side at 1.8 ohms and 1 side at 1 ohm.

That can't be right

I wanted to ride this morning to work so here is my quick fix:

A pair of coils, probably from a newish GSXR that I got on ebay with the wiring harness a couple of years ago.

Runs very good now no longer missing

Wow. I guess I would have never thought to try something like that. Nice going.

Does that mean you just spliced wired them both to the wires that fire the coil pack?

That is great improvisation...
I take it the ECM is happy with the rig.
