Triumph Trophy, Sprint, Daytona:- "Coil Pack Upgrade" !

[@carlmayer691]

Can't say enough great things about Paul Messenger. He knows the Triumph brand -Daytona, Speed Triple, Sprint inside and out, all the tricks, tips, suspension, eccentric maintenance dos and don'ts .. Real asset on the Triumph Daytona enthusiast FB groups. He also worked Clive Wood and Jack Lilley Triumph racing the Daytona 955s on closed track and TT. So he knows his stuff. YSS shock dealer UK. Paul had a kind word about Del too ...so no doubt here..... this is a quality coil stick upgrade.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you so much for your input Carl, you're right about Paul, he's a good friend and a true gentleman. We live a fair way apart, but meet up when ever we get the chance.

[@hitch-k1r]

I installed these from Paul Messenger on my 96 Triumph Daytona 900 and it runs great. I believe it actually increased the throttle response, and she absolutely runs like a banshee. I can't speak highly enough about Paul's fantastic upgrade for your Triple. I highly recommend it.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks mate, I completely agree with you, having gotten to know Paul as a personal friend over the years, I can tell you he's a diamond cut gentleman as well, not many like him.

Greatly informative video! I'm wondering if the spark plugs have to be re-gapped after doing this mod. I've got an old-school Yamaha V-max that I'm considering upgrading to stick coils. Someone on some forum mentioned the spark plugs should be re-gapped to 0.025 inches after these stick coil mods. I can't seem to find any confirmation for this. Anyone know?

Hi Del, had the good fortune to meet Paul Messenger last weekend at Clive Wood's place - what a privilege! both great blokes :) is this lovely old warhorse going to develop into a full Delboy's Garage project? fingers crossed! cheers and all the best, Steve

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Steve, glad to hear you were there with the chaps, I must get along to a course one day even if only for the social... and you're right, this is a beautiful old war horse, but it won't be a full on project as it needs nothing! It would be a waste to chop it up in to something else, it's beautiful as it is, but will be covering any maintenance work as it's been wonderfully maintained all it's life so I want to keep that going, it's only slight 'weakness' is that after almost 30yrs the bodywork's a bit scruffy and as a buddy of mine has a paint shop, I may re-spray it one day, but it will be back to standard, rather than a custom job... so who knows, but for now it's a rider!

[@pveijk1]

What's the use of this kit ? I have no idea..

[@huckleberryfinn8794]

Hello sir I’ve had my 2001 Triumph Trophy 900 in the dealership service center for two weeks. The dealership cannot tell me why the center cylinder is not getting fire to ignite the center spark plug. They have tried a new igniter box, a new pickup coil, and ran test on the ignition coils, which tested out good. The compression on all cylinders are at 175 psi with minimal bleed down.The mechanical valve timing is good. Is there any common problems you can think of that might be the problem?

Brilliant vid and upgrade, Del. That’s quite a pretty old gal for her age. I was waiting for you to say “let’s remove all the furniture” in the beginning! I noticed you gave an excellent bit of advice about getting the body clips off… although I remember getting in trouble back in high school for “sticking my hand in there and having a good grope” with Mrs. Bacciagalupe the young Italian class teacher. I learned some new Italian words that day. Hope you and Penny have a great weekend there! 🏍👍🏍

Cracking bit of kit that! Don't see many conversions around for the Triumphs so good to see the older bikes getting some love!

[@Moonfleet41]

Too right mate, and it makes a huge difference too, more instant throttle response, and instant starting, which on these bikes, if the battery is a little lame, can cause major issue with the starter spragg.!

[@shiftyshamsk]

Almost the same situation with the Aprilia milles. Sprag clutches. Aprilia performance do a kit for those too.

Additionally shorten travel the spark to plugs.. in ms… ( probably more hotter) , my own dad always set points in olde days closer gap at the distributor. I see why he carries extras set points !!! Lol 😂

[@myz06rocks]

Always nice when anything is easy to install. If you don’t mind me asking, is the upgrade mostly added reliability?

[@Moonfleet41]

Hey buddy, certainly is added reliability, the benefits are twofold, it gives a crisper leap forward with zero lag when you crack the throttle on the road, but more importantly, when you start the bike the engine will fire within 1/2 turn, which is important because with these heavy old motors they're prone to damage their sprag clutch if the compression overcomes the starter due to a lame battery, the motor can then jump backwards and that does the damage, so the more instantly it can fire up, the safer for the starter!

[@travisray139]

@@Moonfleet41 Nice bit of info there, thanks.

[@mightybeanstick9872]

As I understand, this is indeed a fairly straightforward upgrade on the triple engines, as they have a coil per cylinder. However, with the 4 cylinder engine like on my 94 Trophy, 2 cylinders share a coil in a lost/wasted spark set up, and I think this causes a problem with going to a stick set up as the coil impedances get messed up in some way. I would love to see if Paul has any info (or kits) for the 4 cylinder engines, but I haven't done Facebook for years. Anyway, nice to see such a tidy Trophy, hope mine could be considered to be as good! ETA - when you took the seat panels off, you didn't need to remove the 2 button head screws from the back part, they only hold the front part of the small joining panel. Taking them out means extra load is put on the 2 bolts that go up through the side panels into the joining panel, either side of the tail light. At least, I have never had to take out to remove those panels from the bike.

[@paulmessenger1006]

It is possible but will need an igniter from ignitech that has 4 separate outlets.

Hi Del. I don't suppose you have any tricks of the trade to remove stuck coils by any chance?

I have gotten them to twist, but something seems to be sticking.

Hi Jim. Sorry to hear that mate.. I'm not sure what that could be, all i can suggest is to contact Paul directly and see if he can suggest a help, he's a mine of information on the coils and all things Triumph triple.. Good luck with it mate and hope he can help.! Del.

[@timoberstebrink]

I love your videos since I own a 1995 Thunderbird 900 and I‘m always trying to deep-dive into the technical matters. The one thing I do not get yet is: Why would I want a coil upgrade? Mine are (still) running fine. And why did you upgrade the coils on the Legend and the Trophy?

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Tim. The use of coil pack ignition systems and lack of necessity for separate plug wires results in a far more durable system, as well as a more cost-effective one. Better still, COP ignition systems can prevent lean mixtures of fuel from misfiring, and because a coil pack generally creates a much more efficient spark being sat directly on top of the plug, it's also known to provide a slight fuel efficiency improvement over bikes that use standard coils and HT leads. most bikes use COP now, so this is a great way to bring your Triumph's ignition system up to date !

[@RenegadesGarage]

Yes mate, very much so, first of all the engine fires up more instantly instead of maybe 2-3 turns before it fires, it now fires up on the first turn, which is important on these bikes as a weak battery and a lazy attempt at starting can cause it to run backwards and damage the sprag clutch so they always need a perfectly healthy battery, preferably one with higher cca as a safety net, and with this upgrade, you can almost eliminate that problem for good... plus on the road, it pulls away more instantly if you snap the throttle suddenly without that usual slight lag, definitely makes a difference and well worth the money.

Fantastic retrofit setup. In stark contrast to some of the LED headlight "upgrades" I've seen on the market that require butchering wiring harnesses and everything else.

Yes mate, Paul does a fantastic job of making sure this is an easy fit and total plug in install, just how it should be!

No mate, no business contact, you're looking for a profile photo with a yellow Triumph Trident in it and him standing behind it..!
