1996 Voyager 1200
I have a 1996 Voyager 1200 and it's not getting any spark in the number two or number 3 cylinder I changed the spark plugs today and it didn't help what should I do

Re: 1996 Voyager 1200
Search on "no spark on cylinders 2 and 3". Sounds like a bad coil.

Re: 1996 Voyager 1200
I'm new to the Kawasaki voyagers is it one coil that runs those two cylinders or on that year is it four separate coil ?

Re: 1996 Voyager 1200
One coil per two cylinders, just like Honda, and other bike makers did, on their four-cylinder engines. Wasted sparks jumped on the exhaust cycle, without harm or ill effect on the engines. Far cheaper, less complex, than using four coils, two of which did nothing during their exhaust cycles... Cheers!

Or it could be the coil is not connected /
