    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • 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.

Hi I read wiring diagram and researched a little ... quick question from a Suzuki newbee... the 1243 firing pattern... if I look at the coils from behind that is to say looking towards handlebars is the top left coil considered #1 then below it #2 then the top right coil #4 below that... and the spark plug holes correspond to a numbering system 1-4 left to right facing the spark plugs holes as you face when riding... ??
 
The spark plugs, cylinders, carbs, anything else of which there are multiples and need to be numbered or otherwise described, are done so as if you are sitting on the bike ready to ride.

Yes, #1 spark plug, cylinder and carb are under your clutch hand, #4 items are under your throttle hand.

The left coil will fire plugs 1 and 4, the right coil fires plugs 2 and 3. The two wires on each coil both fire at the same time, it does not matter which of the two plugs they are on.

Another yes, the firing order is, indeed, 1, 2, 4, 3.

Next question? :-k
