Please excuse my ignorance as im new 2 this sort of thing but have this kiwi I can do attitude, so like Zedder was chasing my tail on electrical problems think I got it solved, spark in both coils now but I decided 2 take the left side cover off fly wheel,ignition etc 2 check gap with the modules as I have the twin set up. I noticed 200-300mls of oil came out knowing that the gears behind fly wheel need lubrication and oviously more oil would come out if bike was lent over, so my question is :wacko: how can the ignition pickups work well if there is oil around or do I have a serious problem with a seal in some place.I also have done Johns wirring modification and dont have any fancy multimeters etc.So before I put cover back on I just wanted 2 check with this awesome forum that all is ok. And thanks 4 the info on the manifold Higgy the flatsides look so much better mounted the right way :thumbup:

Not much oil can stick to pickups w a 0,7mm gap and the flywheel spinning.
All seems normal. :)

Oil has no effect on hall effect(magnetic) pickups

Monster or Supersport they are the same. one just needs to make sure to get intakes from a 750 engine as the ones from a 900 are minimally longer.
