Ok so I thought I would ask here as MV agusta.net are a bit arsey a think you have so much cash floating around that you wipe your arse with £50 notes. My MV started running on three the other day so stripped the bodywork off to change the plugs. All seemed ok when fireing it up so I reassembled it and took it for a spin. After a couple of miles it started popping from the exhaust on over run and generally running a bit rough. A little further along it went back onto 3 cylinders but given some throttle would pick back up again. Both times it has been #1 cylinder. Does anyone here have any suggestions other than spending £850 on a microtech ECU as has been suggested to me on the MV forum. I am thinking coil as it has 4 individual stick coils Your help is valued and appreciated.

| It’s a good chance it’s the coil as coils on cap do suffer from heat, swap the coils around and see if the problem moves. |

Yep although I've been trying to avoid doing it as it is a pain in the rear to do. Think I will buy a couple of coils as Beru don't seem to make them anymore and buying one from a MV dealer is £114 + vat per coil. I have found a shop that has 3 left in stock at £99 each. |

| Google the part number, a lot of bikes use car coils, my mates benelli tornado uses coils the same on Peugeot cars. |

Coils or ht leads would be my starting point if the plugs are new. As it's intermittent it would make sense. Keep us posted 
------------- I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left |

Had a bandit with same symptoms and it was a coil so replaced all 4, it is possible that same coils are used on other bikes as hemi mentioned ------------- www.apriliaperformance.co.uk www.apriliaforum.co.uk www.apriliaownersclub.co.uk |

Some Moto guzzi use the same coil but it's the same problem looking at the Beru website it's only Moto guzzi and MV that use the coil. Champion had a coil that MV used, but I have found out it was made by Beru and had a champion sticker stick on it. There are second hand coils on flea bay but you don't know what you're getting. |

Read it a few times but my coils have a tail that is about 30cm where it plugs into the main wiring loom, the ones shown on the MV Augusta.net ( both the original and replacement ) connect directly to the stick coil, so I assume this is a different coil and possibly not fit my bike. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MV-Agusta-F4-1000-Ignition-Coil-2010-/154530512460?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0" rel="nofollow - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MV-Agusta-F4-1000-Ignition-Coil-2010-/154530512460?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0
