doonali Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 I've heard of several 1200's both XR and XS haven broken coil wires mainly on the center coil. Upon inspection of my XS I noticed the only difference between the three is that the center coil doesn't have the wires zip tied to the plug. I reorganized the wires giving a little extra slack and zip tied all three with heavier zip ties. The plugs have a lip on the bottom so the zip ties cannot work off of the plug. Maybe this will help or cure the issue IDK . Possibly without the zip tie the center was seeing more vibration causing the issue. mccaffrey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sled Dog Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 I had a coil go on the last day of a Quebec trip. About 60 miles from truck. I now carry a spare coil and a spare connector so that if I have to I can trailside repair. My 2012 1200 also has 16,000 miles on it so I find myself carrying more spare parts!

Sled Dog Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Yes but I have a 1200 mile trip planned in a couple weeks. I'm a little nervous! I have no problem riding a high mileage sled at home, (upstate NY) but its a different ball game in Quebec! And they are so frickin expensive!
