Stick Coil Subharness—Gen1
It is a good idea to label each half of the leads as soon as you disconnect them. Use a marking pen and masking tape to identify the leads.
All leads are disconnected by pressing the tab down and pulling simultaneously.
The stick coil subharness is the small grey taped wire branch that goes to the stick coils. It lays on top of the the engine sub harness which is the black taped branch of wires.
Do first:
Remove the battery negative cable from the ground screw on frame (Battery Removal, steps 1, 2 and 3).

Removal
1. Disconnect lead [A] from the stick coil subharness by pressing the tab while pulling back.
Pull it out of the engine compartment to the left.
2. Remove the connector lead from each stick coil [S1], [S2], [S3] and [S4] as shown. Press the tab while pulling back.
Be careful that the red grommet inside of each female stick coil connector does not fall out (conversation below in the first ten replies to this thread).
3. Clear the stick coil subharness to the outside left of the engine compartment.
If it is necessary to separate it from the engine, you will need to remove the LH rear reed valve cover screw to free the bracket to lead connector [A] (see also PAIR Removal, step 5, Left reed valve cover rear bolt).
This picture shows blockoff plates installed instead of a stock reed valve cover.
Installation
For most procedures, the stick coil subharness usually can remain fastened to the retainer at the left reed valve cover. If the stick coil subharness was completely removed from the motor, install it to the the retainer along with the LH rear reed valve cover bolt (see PAIR Removal, step 8).
4. Connect stick coil leads [S1], [S2], [S3] and [S4].
5. Connect the small black leads [A] at the bracket on the left reed valve cover. Wire
[A] is routed over the top of the wire [S1]. S1 is routed over the engine harness lead, wire [B].
Connect the battery negative cable to the ground screw on frame and reinstall the fairings (Battery Removal, step 11).
