Hi
Hope someone can point me in the right direction please, any help will be gratefully received.

I need to Fit a new HT Coil for the FRONT Cylinder for the above NSR250.

Looking on the CMSNL site drawing F-28-1 https://www.cmsnl.com/honda-nsr250r5-type-ii-1989-k-japan_model49611/partslist/0193.html
lists Ref No 5 - COIL COMP.,IGNITION - Part No: 30510KV3771 as still being available (bonus).

Looking at the Diagram I would normally take that particular coil as being at the FRONT, unfortunately for me I happened to look at the equivalent Diagram for the 1988 R2J first https://www.cmsnl.com/honda-nsr250r2-1988-j-japan_model49608/partslist/0193.html and it listed the coil Ref No 5 COIL COMP.,RR.IGN which I take - 'RR' - as meaning the REAR!

My questions are:
1. Is the 1988 R2J Diagram incorrect (eg Ref 5 HT Coil is the FRONT Coil) or am I mis understanding Honda’s Abbreviations’ (eg FR - FRONT RR - REAR)?
2. Would it make much of a difference fitting this coil if it were the REAR Coil (other than changing the HT Lead Lengths)?
3. Are there better and newer HT coils that I should be considering fitting?
or am I just being too pedantic!!

Many thanks in anticipation and a Merry Christmas to you all.

Regards

Philip
