Am I correct in assuming that the 1986-90 RZ350 and the RZ500 use the same ignition coil? I have lots of them here and they look identical, but have different part numbers. 1UA verses 47X. I assume (once again) that the only differences are the length of the leads (and that is why the two 500 coils have different part numbers as well.)

Re: Coil
The 500 coils have a horrible little clamp system to keep the HT leads in the coil housing, if these break you're in trouble (they're not available from Yamaha on their own, so you'd have to buy the complete coil set including leads... and that's if Yamaha still stock these coils), be careful if you want to keep the stock coils as a spare set, because these plastic clamps can become very brittle over time and easily broken.

Re: Coil
Being the same coil as the 86-90 350 I'm familar with the tabs you're talking about. Brittle little buggers that snap off if you look at them the wrong way. I've seen them completely missing. Guys just use a little adhesive, silicone, or epoxy to hold the leads in the coil. It works well and I've never seen them fall out. No one can see it, so it isn't cosmetically important. I've never had to do it, but I have lots of coils to choose from.
Re: Coil

works really well . nice and small make any leads you want . \
im thinking they would be a good replacement or upgrade for the stock 500 system .. no ??

Well, that's a given.....duct tape is the solution for most of life's problems. Just ask Red Green2smoke wrote: Hey you forgot about duct tape. It works wonders too! Lol.
