left coil feeds #1 and #4 cylinder. right coil feed #2 and #3.

on my '93 (and my old '91 IIRC) the wires to the coils were orange (upper) and white (lower).

bit weird tho, why do they feed different ones?

and the wires on mine are yellow and yellow and red its a 1997 bandit 400 v

okay, I'm talking out my

right now, but I THINK...

with 4 cylinders, #1 and #4 fire 180* apart and #2 and #3 fire 180* apart. So you can spark #1 and #4 simultaneously at 180* and it'll hit each cylinder twice in its four strokes, but the extra one falls at the end of the exhaust stroke and is basically wasted. Seems like a waste, but you can then run 4 cylinders on two coils by firing them twice as often.

That's my thought on it. I'm sure others know better, or at least know the right terminology
