Kawasaki and Yamaha coils, interchangeable?

[SuperJETT]

Are they identical?

 

[oxnard111]

I would hope so if sites sell those coils claiming they can be used on both boats.

 

[D Slicker]

The MSD number for there coil is the same. they look the same also so I would say yes.

 

[SuperJETT]

Thanks, I was 95% certain but wanted a second opinion.

 

[Matt_E]

Did you order one? I am about to pull the trigger on a brand-new SXR coil.

I am not sure that either of my coils is bad, but I'd like to have a brand-new one in the box. Tired of wrenching.

 

[ROTATION]

YES
Same Mitsubishi part no. on both.

 

[Kaveman]

They are not EXACTLY the same, however the kawasaki 750sx/sxi coil can be used in the yamaha twin. The leads on the kawasaki are slightly longer than the yamaha. I know that the kawi will work in the superjet: not sure about the yamaha in a kawi.

 

[firecatf6]

wait i am confused....i need a new coil but do i get the 750sxi coil or the 800sxr coil for my superjet?

 

[Big Kahuna]

750 coil. Friend has been running one for about 6 years in his SJ. Plus they are cheaper.

 

[firecatf6]

who has the best deal on these 750sxi coils? If anyone wants to give away their online secrits

 

[Matt_E]

SXR coil is what I run. They're about 70 bucks brand-new and have better wires than the Yamaha coils.
It's the same size as the Yamaha coil. You will need boots & terminals, though.

The length of the leads are my only question. I just got a new 750zxi coil because it appeared to have the longest leads measuring 18"/23". My new Yamaha coil has 30" leads. How long are SXR leads?

 

[Matt_E]

I didn't measure the leads on the SXR coil I bought, but they were plenty long enough in both a Superjet and a Blaster.

while on the subject,I hear kawi throttle cables are cheaper,and have better ends, and to top it all off you dont need that complete rip off $10 tiny ass nothing throttle adapter to make it fit billet throttle triggers.
How about the steering ables they are cheaper as well,wonder if they could be used or adapted to work on a sj

 

[grahammy]

As I understand the same except, the Kawi coils have superior ht leads. I run a kawi unit in my superjet with total loss and no electrical box fine.

 

[Mark44]

It is very rare for a coil of this type to go bad just replace the wires.

Wow great info, I wasnt sure about that either. I would use the SXR if it is long enough, the cables are better. I think on the throttle cable, its not the SXR cable its the SXi or something, Kevin at Wamiltion was telling me its the way to go, bigger cable, no throttle adapter, only thing is you have to buy an aftermarket throttle drum for the carbs. He says its still cheaper and better in the end. Can anyone back this up with part numbers, etc?

I like the Jetski solutions coil service because it changes the wires and contectors to a super high grade. The wires are also covered in a mesh loom that prevents exterior chafing. I've had it on my surf boat for 4 years and never had a problem. since the coil bodys are all the same this service can even take a coil from a couch with resistor wires and make it into a saltwater worthy part.
