Have you run any stick-coils on any of your systems? I'm interested in your points.

I run stick coils on my NC24 (which doesnt used a wasted spark design as it has 4 coils not two becuase of the 180 firing order), it also has 10mm plugs as standard and makes the same power as most standard NC30s do... I think the 8mm plugs were a bit over-kill on the 59ps NC30 engine. But anyhow

I also run stick coils on my ZXR400 which does use a wasted spark, so the coils are wired in series.

ive covered about 6000 miles on each bike since having the stick coils in (it was done on the ZXR as i needed space in there for new airbox and I did the VFR as I just had some spare

I havnt had any running problems or signs of over-heating (yet) although your concerns are potential pit-falls, whcih im curious to find out if you actually had these manifest or were just erring on a side of caution.

I havnt noticed any performance increase or decrease, but in the case of the zxr it did give me a lot more room in the engine bay (which was the idea)

So I wouldnt really recommend it as being an essential mod either, unless your craving space

Also, wouldnt running them in series divide the voltage?
