So I got the new dual output coil from Mikes and am a little confused as to how to put it on. Does it matter which I side I connect the red and green cables?? Also I'm a little bit unclear as to how to connect the cables. I have the lead connecters but what do I do with them?? I also have these little metal sleeve looking pieces of which I have no idea what to do?? Anyone done this recently that can help?? I like mikes and will continue to purchase their products, and maybe I'm just stupid for not knowing how to do this, but it seems that it wouldn't be that hard to include a simple diagram with this coil.

mexipike,

It does not matter which terminal you use for the red and green wires. There are installation instructions on the web site: www.yamahaxs650.com

The little metal sleeves are crimped onto one end of the plug wires:

Start by striping the wire:



Bend the wire back:


Push the metal sleeve over the wire, making contact with the stripped end:


Gently crimp the sleeve on the wire:


The sleeve end is plugged into the coil towers. Put the rubber boot on before you install the plug caps on the other end of the wires. The plug caps screw on to the wire.
