Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Now, ... are your coils wired "normally"? Usually, the left coil fires 1&4, the right coil fires 2&3.
Sometimes, a previous owner will have them removed for some reason and put them up backwards.
If they are not "normal", you might want to change them, just to make it easier for later work.
.
That was the reason for the question. now double check the coil ground wire wire colours and get those plug wires on there respective cylinder.
GLAD you got it running.

The way I buggered it up was by following the wiring of my 650 as an example. There are 2 styles of plug caps: one has a long shaft which has a sharp angle (100 degrees), and other style has a stubby shaft with a more relaxed angle (120 degrees).
On which cylinders should the spark plug caps with the long shaft be located?

I've been creeping this thread and I have a question... if I am seated on the bike looking forward (as opposed to seated backwards on the bike
), which cylinder is #1 - on the right or left? Also, which coil fires which cylinders?
Number 1 cylinder is on the left. (clutch hand side as it were)
for 1&4 coil, the negative side of the coil colour is>>> White
for 2&3 coil, the negative side of the coil colour is >>> Black/yellow
