Had to replace the front two recently - not cheap! Anyone know if other Yamaha coils will fit eg the R6 coils look the same ( come up as a different part number but you never know...) and there’s plenty of them about

Good idea to know a possible compatible coil. Ours is made my Mitsubishi.

If some one have access to a Service manual for R6 than the primary and secondary coil resistance values can be compared to ours.

Good question, as many parts are shared by more than one model. Unfortunately, the part number only shows application to the Super Tenere.

I bought mine quite cheap from a place in Cardiff that used to advertise them on ebay. I just searched ebay but couldn't find them. If I can find an old receipt/name of the shop I'll post it on here

Not positive, but I think the reason the part number is exclusive to the Tenere is because it is the only coil that gets bolted in place. Other coil sticks "may" be the same length, and have the same rubber caps, but have no way of bolting them in place. Having said that, I still wonder why they do it that way. There is no way in hell those things are going to pop off by themselves if they weren't bolted down. Kinda redundant if you asked me...

In addition Yamaha even tells you to loctite the bolts. I never have used it myself though.

Every single automotive application I've ever seen or heard of is bolted down. Though a small possibility, the heated air trapped in the boot could push an unbolted coil off the plug.

LOL, believe it or not, I don't do Facebook. Gave it up back in 2013.

Since 2013 FB has evolved into a very useful tool. If one doesn't want to get involved in all the drama, just don't have any friends. There are groups for everything you can think of, which are just forums like we have here. I belong to RV, gun, motorcycle, running, classic car, 60's & 70's motorcycle, Dachshund etc. groups and there's not a day goes by that I don't learn something.

I've saved a ton of money because people in the groups post links to special offers and sales on things I want. I have seen a lot of the members on this forum post in the Super Tenere groups on FB. Just last week a guy from South America needed some spokes and someone posted a link to this forum and I sent him some spokes. Fb is a great tool if you use it correctly.
