    Hi Dingy: Thank you for the reply. The picture very adequately shows where these points are. I intend to try another method of removing the coils and if it works will post the method used.

    Thank you for the reply and I now have this removed. In response to the information from Snaggletooth, can he, or someone else, tell me where the "mounting points for the coil mounting plate" are? In fact I can't see a single bolt that could be removed without first removing the entire fairing.

    Thanks to all for the replies and I will contact Stewart this evening regarding the offer of a coil. Now back to business. I have re-welded the frame, re-installed the engine and replaced the fairing, and I am starting from scratch again because I forgot to replace the coil when the engine was out. I have now reached the point where all I have left of the information supplied by Snaggletooth is a portion of the removal of the air box. What is left of this unit is the outer shell, ie like a box with the top and bottom removed, which I thought would just lift off, but this does not appear to be the case. Should I just use the sledge hammer method to remove this or is there something hidden which is holding this in place. Many thanks.

    I find that the number 2 cylinder on my bike is not firing so I swapped the #2 and #4 plug leads to see if the problem lay with the ignition coil and is appears that this is so. Does anyone know if there is an easier way of replacing the coil other than the way Yamaha intended this to be done, ie remove the fairing, the motor, cut a section out of the frame, replace the coil and then reverse the process. Many thanks.

    Hi Dingy: Thak you for the reply. I suspected this was oart of the oil reservoir, but cannot understand why it is so BLACK. Is there a part of the oil system that does not drain when an oil change is done? Cheers.

    Being a real expert I did not explain myself clearly, but have done some research. I removed the middle gear case cover to get at one of the connections and oil leaked out of this. How do I replace it? Many Thanks again.

    I had a leak somewhere in my 1984 Venture XVZ1200 clutch hydraulic system and in the process of trying to repair this some oil leaked out of the clutch assembly. Does anyone know how I go about refilling this because I can't seem to find anything which looks like a refill plug or something along those lines. Many Thanks.
