replacement ignition coil question

[jimmyenglish]

Hi everyone, I think one of my ignition coils on my 86' is in question and I was wondering if there are aftermarket ones available? Or do I just replace with stock new/used ones? Where are they available? Any other yamaha bikes use the same ones? Thanks in advance!

I replaced my coils with coil on plugs from a CBR 1000RR 06 07. You will need an aftermarket TCI to do this.

 

Here's a thread on the conversion.

You can still buy them new from Yamaha. $$$104.99

New OEM from Boats.net are $67.38

Can't help you concerning aftermarket, never looked for any, but I suspect there are some.

The ignition coil is same for these Yamaha models:

1983-1993 Venture,

1985-2007 V-Max,

1987 SRX250,

1984-2001 Riva 125,

1983-1985 Riva 180,

1987-1990 Riva 200.

 

You might consider converting to "Coil Over/On Plug" (COP). Dingy on this site has the writeup on such. Another Venture Rider did a COP conversion as well. Can't remember who that was.
