Hi, I have a 1998 cbr 600f3. There are 2 coils on this bike for 4 cylinders and two wires coming in and 2 coming out(spark plug wires going out). I can only get one side of both coils to fire so the bike is running on 2 cylinders. I tried changing the wires and the coils but had no good results. Any Ideas? I am starting the bike while being jumped to my car so there should be enough voltage no? Also, does anyone know which # cylinders the spark plug wires go to off the coils (both left and right) and if these are wrong would that possibly effect the spark? I have been testing for spark on each cylinder with a timing light which seems to work ok. Do you recommend this method? Thank you for your time -Jaosn

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

On the 2 ignition coils:
  • two wires coming in - black/white carries/supplies IGN + 12 to both coils and the ignition control module. Coil1 (left) is connected to the ICM by the yellow/blue wire while coil2 (right) is connected through the blue/yellow wire;
  • 2 coming out - left coil powers 1 & 4 while right coil powers 2 & 3;
  • 1 &4 will fire together; so with 2 &3.

Good luck and thank you for asking FixYa.
