Witch replacement coil ?
Hi,
I'm looking for a replacement coil...i read a Suzuki bandit coil is the best option.
....but there seems to be many dufferent type of bandit coils available.
Witch one i have to look for that comes closest to the stock specs?
Cheers,
Rob

No.
Best coil is RZ350 YPVS 1986 and newer. Identical to RZ500 other than length of wire.

Plenty of 350 guys running them with no issues. Hotter spark so perfect for highly tuned motors.
Like Colin, I prefer the stock coils as they are well known to be problem free. Same coil on the 86+ 350, the 500, TZR, TDR, and others.
I should have a spare stock coil here. If the OP is interested he can PM me.

I figured some data, of the coils:
The STOCK RD/RZ500 coil :
A RD350F2 coil;
The resistance values of those differ so much....i doubt that will work proparly ?

Re: Witch replacement coil ?
2 things to consider. First, you've quoted F1 coil values, not F2 coil values.
F2 coil is primary .33 ohms +/- 15 %
Secondary is 5.9k ohms +/- 15 %
Secondly,
.67 -20% = .53 ohms and .33 + 15% =.38 ohms, so not so far apart.
12k ohms - 20% = 9.6k ohms and 5.9k ohms + 15 %= 6.8k ohms, so not so far apart
Regardless of those numbers I'm certain there is really no difference in the coils. One says 1UA on the tag and the other says 47X on the tag. That's if they have tags. Most don't and are used interchangeably on purpose and by accident with no ill effects.

Re: Witch replacement coil ?
Thanks for clearify, my bad......im obsessed[like many others] with the ignition of the RD500.
I see even new coils still available in ebay

Re: Witch replacement coil ?
That is expensive. A used one would be just fine and a lot cheaper.
