Stick Coil Mod for Carbed Blades

What do you chaps think to this mod, seems like a great idea to modernise the old blade coil setup?

Looks like a great mod to me. I've been having poor spark problems with my RRW all this year, so better sparks at a reasonable price would be great!

Stick coil???????

Direct coil which also incorporates the suppressor cap is an improvement on the old set up which lost an enormous amount of electrical power via the HT and suprressor caps. Having a direct coil would optimise the electrical charge for individual plug creating a better quality spark.

yes looks good doesnt it.. quite tempted to try it out as part of the rebuid perhaps..

Have a set of direct coils here LC.

I did a bit of reading up about this a year or so back, something at the back of my mind is saying that the sticks have to match the originals..I did have wiring in diagrams somewhere, I'll have a look and see if i still have all the bumf about doing this..

Ah do you Mique, what bike are they from do you know?

Done some reading and towards the end of that thread people saying they have had issues.. Not sure now if its worth the risk.. Going to give it a go megawatt and be the guinea pig?

Think I'll do some more research and then buy some sticks.

Its from a 2007 blade might be a bit longer than the supressor cap from a CDI blade.

Did the link say 2005 Hayabusa sticks fit?

Yeah sure it did Alan... Do you have some then?

No mate, looked on eblag, only ones are from a breaker, 40quid each!!!

wow thats out of the question then! Ebay could be your friend here..

It Eas eBay mate. Not in any hurry or may try some cheap ones that Don,t seal.

yeah ones which dont seal could be used for testing at least! could always sell them on if it doesnt work out

Practical sportsbike magazine did this to one of the staff bikes a gpz 9r i think there is a wiring diagram in the mag will try to dig it out and put it up

Nice one.

It's in issue 19, May 2012. Page 88 shows the wiring diagram, it was done on a GPZ 750.

I ain't got that mag mate. Any chance of a piccy of the diagram?

I'll try, photobucket has changed since I last went on, but here goes,

Nice one Mick.

piccys no worky for me :(

Sorry LC, will try again.

Ah that's better working now

did anyone do this mod and what was the outcome i.e what coils were used and what wiring harness and did it work and were any other mods needed

I have just done this mod and it's a piece of piss! If you have a look in the link that was posted early on in the thread the wiring changes are detailed in there. I'm using 99 r6 coils, fit perfectly and should work a treat. A friend of mine fitted stick coils to his f2 race outfit that was powered at the time by a full race 919 blade motor and he saw a few bhp increase as well as it being slightly smoother.
It's worth doing but make sure you check the resistance of your original blade coils and then check the resistance of the stick coils. Double the resistance of one of the stick coils should equal the resistance of one of your original coils
