Firing order is 1-2-4-3, 1 been the left cylinder when you are sitting on it!

thanks for the replys

i can get all caps on at 1243 but the bike dosnt run all that good number 3 will not gon onto the 2nd cyclinder from the left as its not long enough i thought maby i had the coils on the wrong way but if i reverse them then number 1 will not go on 2 the 1st cyclinder from the left side.

number 3 must go onto the 3rd or 4th cyclinders the other i dont no lol the best way the bike has run is 1234 but it didnt seem 2 want 2 rev over 8k this could be becasue of a few other things tho.

any one have a manuel they could check???

Check out service manual downloads chapter 2 page 28, shows you a full diagram of coils and ht leads set up. wud paste it here but cant figure out how to ;-). Its on general section http://www.commline.com/FZR/400/MANUAL/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

i think thats for the older model but if its the same they mine is slightly different set up on that the number 3 is on the left side coil and the inside my number 3 is on the right side coil and is the out side of the 2

when i put them 1243 the bike is hard 2 start and when started runs awful when i put them 1234 the bike starts easy and runs alot better

Oh ... god this really isn't a post for dyslexic's

There are 2 coils

Each coils fires Twice per revolution at top and Bottom (the bottom spark has nothing to ignite).

One coil works cylinders 1 and 4 (the outside ones)
The other coil works cylinders 2 and 3 (the middle ones)

As long as they're wired with the middles to one coil and the outers to the other it will either run or not.

Sounds like you've got a dodgy connection, probably with the plug cap. Unscrew them one by one cut the HT lead back by 5mm and screw the cap back on.
