Coil relay mod question

[Pat Conlon]

As I remember it, the early models with TCI ignition used 2 ohm coils ('84 to '87) and later model with the CDI use 4 ohm coils.

Someone please check me on that.

Backwards amigo
Dyna green 3 ohm on TCI ('84-87) and early DCI ('89-90)
Dyna grey 2.2 ohm on '91-95 DCI

Well, I had a 50/50 chance.  :-)

My confusion is due to running a set of the Grey coils with a Dyna ignition on my '85

(next time I give advice, just do the opposite :-)

[Pat Conlon]

No worries David, got your back...

For years I (mistakenly) thought all FJ's were 3 ohm, but a couple of years ago I learned that 4th gen '91-95's used oem 2 ohm coils.  I've always thought to use the Dyna gray 2.2 coils only with the Dyna ignition, but it turns out you can also use the Dyna gray's with the oem 91-95 ignition.

What determines the correct coils to use, is it the type ignition system?

Did the DCI change between 90 and 91?

I've still got standard TCI but also have Hyperpak module for FJ1100 as spare.
So if I change to 4 ohm will they still work on the Hyperpak

[Pat Conlon]

Yes, the 4 ohm will work your FJ and also work with the New Zealand HyperPac.

I used the HyperPac for a couple of years on my '84 but you lose the side stand switch with it, so I went back to oem. I always use the side stand switch to turn off my bike....that way, when the engine is off... I KNOW I've extended the side stand before I dismount....just don't ask why I do it this way.....

I've just got to figure out a way not to leave my ignition key on.

Thanks but I have to remember now anyway  

Do the 4 ohm work better than standard?

[Pat Conlon]

Don't know, what 4 ohm coils?

There is nothing wrong with the stock FJ coils. They work great, especially with a better power supply.
