I had an expert look over the bike today and he immediately noted it was firing on 3. So we toook a plug lead off to find which was causing the problem. No 4,3 and 1 came off and the engine stopped, with no 2 the engine ticked over. Compression is good on the engine. So I swapped over the coil and found the problem shifted from 3 to 4 so i thinki need a new coil pack... anyone know where the cheapest are in the UK?

Used stock coils should be very common and very cheap. Just make sure to buy from a decent person - there are many defect OEM used coils around, too

Well got the neww coil today... and she is still missing...however when fiddling she suddenly picked up, what could cause it?
At the time i was fiddling with the tank so i think it might have dislodged the HT lead.
I found that some of the leads werent feeling like they connected with the coil, so i crimped the connection a little. Some of the plugs dont feel like they are hitting home with the leads to they feel a bit... well loose.

The HT leads are removable - maybe check that they are snug?

you said you crimped the end to go onto the coil did you also check the wire into the connection when i changed mine the very front coil wires had rubbed through from rubbing on the coil lead coming out of the one behind it
did you get nology coils they use the caps that you have to put the screw on peice on the plug your original ones didnt
