Boyer ignition coil

[EnriquezXS]

My Boyer ignition coil failed, marked Gill on it for the blue box. Just wondering is there a replacement coil that can be used instead of the Boyer coil supplied with the Boyer ignition kit.

coils is coils find the primary ohms needed and start the search.

I bought a new blue box because my meter read 0.6 ohms on the Gills coil primary winding but I didn't subtract the resistance of the leads so it was a bad coil. Replaced it with a Nology Profire 06D coil amd it runs better than the Gills coil ever did.

from xs650 garage circa 2011
"The newer system (Micro Power) uses the low resistance (0.6 ohm) dual tower coils, and are a wasted spark system - firing both spark plugs as the pistons approach TDC. The Micro Power system usually have a blue box, but some of the early ones are red (like mine)."

I fitted a coil for an RZ 350 (0.5 Ohm) to a XS 650 running a Boyer blue box micro power ignition.
New spacers were made to stop the timing plate sitting on skew as per Gorran Pearson.

Boyer have a very good website, you can email queries to them they are very good at providing answers.
