How do you check the coils on a 2003 Harley Davidson?

How to Test a Harley Davidson Ignition Coil

  1. Turn off the motorcycle. Allow the engine to become cool to the touch before proceeding.
  2. Disconnect, by hand, the two spark plug wires from the coil.
  3. Set the ohmmeter to read resistance on the “Rx1” setting.
  4. Set the ohmmeter to read resistance on the “Rx1000” setting.
