I have a FZR 1000 that may have coils that are breaking down when they get hot. The OEM coils are way to expensive to just buy when I don't know for certain they are the problem, and FZR 1000 coils hardly ever pop up on ebay.

Can I use coils from another bike in this one? Do I need to be careful which bike they come from or will pretty much any coils from any bike do? FZR 600 coils aren't the same part #, but they look identical. Give them a shot?

Also, the previous owner claimed these coils are new. Could something be killing the coils?

Almost any coil will work, most stock coils are around 3-5 ohms- the question is can you make them physically fit

There are aftermarket coils. If you want quality, go for Dynatek. Make sure they are right for your bike or you will toast your CDI-box.

What would the symptoms be for a toasted CDI box?
