To change the coils on the Suzuki SV 650, open the compartment that houses the battery and remove the fairing. Under the frame, you will find the ignition coil. Access it from the right side, above the exhaust manifold, from the inner side. For a good job, use a screwdriver like the one shown in the video. Be careful when removing the coils regarding the colour of the white and black wires leading to an exhaust ring. The white wire connects to a flat connector on the coil. On the other side, there is a blue and white wire. Now that the coils are removed, measure their resistance with a voltmeter. The YouTuber did not replace them but measured their efficiency. Both were fine, so he repositioned them. If you wish to replace them, you can get a pair for £20.00 on Amazon. Now, simply refit them, paying attention to the wire colours: white/black for the left coil, white/blue for the right coil. Secure them with zip ties to the frame, reconnect the plugs, and test the ignition of the bike before refitting the fairing. If everything is in order, you can finish the job.
