    Default Coils how many and where and where can i buy?????

    Sorry if i sound like an idiot but do we have three coils? And if so is there and easy way to tell which one is bad? can you buy them at a regular auto parts store?

    here is whats going on any help would be greatly appreciated...

    a couple moist days passed and my bike was outside and when i went to start it it wouldn't stat but after a few dry days she fired right up... during first drive after about 5 miles lost lots of power and strong fuel smell and unspent fuel coming out of exhaust ...proceeded to solder cheesy power commander wire taps and replaced the spark plugs and when she fired up all was well .....THEN as i was getting ready for a nice sized local toy run i fired her up was idling and sounding great then about two minutes in she started with the same symptoms... i am thinking with the clearly visible unspent fuel that one cylinder must be not firing which means one of the coils right? but trying to figure out if i need to order parts or if they are something i can buy any where and if i can get it back on the road today . and how to figure it out ??

    Your PC has probably taken a crap.

    It has 4 coils. 2 standard type and 2 on the plug coils. I doubt that you have even one bad much less all 4.

    the coils usually do not go bad.

    A coil can go bad but when they go bad they go bad fast! Check your grounds all of them along with your PC

    Default coils must be good!!

    removed the power commander and went back to stock and running smooth but fuel mixture is off but likely it was the power commander... took it for a little ride(that was helpful)... going to order cobra power pro and take it apart one more time. i could probably remove everything and put it together in my sleep now...

    since you have had it apart a few times lately. maybe a good idea to make sure all the wires in the connectors under the tank are seated fully and not about to pull out which would cause ANOTHER problem.

    go ahead and ask how i know this !

    The cobra powerpro is now installed and was an easy install without removing airbox this time... The bike has smoothed out dramatically. i had a power commander III usb in there for two or three years years and was always quirky with the usb connection and i never had it professionally tuned. I only used the maps available on their website which were never the perfect setup i either could select stock exhaust or stock intake and i had neither. I have a holley mod intake and sideburner pipes and all i rode for about 45 miles today 2up right after install and wow the thing is so smooth its like a different bike. It went from being very jumpy to crazy smooth throttle response i can let go of throttle and get right back in without any surging like before. Cant wait to ride solo... I also just replaced tires and brake pads and spark plugs. went with a 160/260 metzeler combo and man thats a huge difference too, pegs dont scrape, i dont hit the ramp on way in shed, i can get the lift under the bike without putting the front tire up on a block of wood and its way smoother on the road. It feels like a different bike(the bikes lowered 2 ")..... Very happy so far
