    1981 GS1100E with Dyna 2000 KIT - Need help plugging the spark plug wires

    Hi

    I have the Dyna 2000 Kit installed and I need help plugging the spak plug wires.
    The confusion comes from the Dyna install PDF drawing. They should fire there technical writer.
    I boggles my mind why there documents are scanned? Man it's 2012.

    It says:
    Left 1 & 4
    Right 2 & 3
    but mirrors the coil drawing and does not say where to start counting.

    Q: Is it clockwise?
    top left 1
    top right 2
    bottom right 3
    bottom left 4

    Also just to make sure the cylinder numbering order is from clutch to break
    Clutch side being 1 and break side being 4?

    Thank you.

      Yes, that is correct; 1 is under your left hand and 4 is under your right

              Does it mean that both coil outlets are interchangeable so for the left coil it could be 1-4 or 4-1 and the same for the right one?
              In other words that it does not mater what cylinder you plug them into as long as the 1-4 coil is ether plugged into cylinder 1 or 4.

                  That is correct.

                  Hopefully your controls are clutch on the left and BRAKE on the right.

                  Would hate to see what happens every time you use your BREAK lever.

                  Yes, cylinder #1 is on the left, under your clutch hand, #4 is on the right, under your throttle (or BRAKE) hand.
