Wet Weather Rough Running: Coils and Leads

[OldGreyWizard]

I started having the misfiring, running on one cylinder when damp/wet a few months back. I found the fix on this site, can't find it again to say thank you!!

 

So the definative fix :-

Get a mountain bike inner tube cut two six inch lengths from it. Put the coil inside the inner tube, it is a tight fit.

Use self amalgamating tape to seal the ends.

Since doing this I have ridden through some really foul weather up and down the M1 and the TDM never misses a beat.

 

I was worried about over heating, but as it has been at least three months, in all temperatures so I guess this is not an issue.

I hope this helps someone else.

 

The blame is really with Yamaha - crap coils.
