Eldrick:
What is this bit  linked to the Coils?

It was zip-tied under the fuel tank, at the rear, under the rubber cusion and the wires go to each coil.
Is it a genuine part and should it be under the tank? It works, as in the bike starts but as I am re-wiring it with a new loom I want to know what it is and where it should live.
Thanks.

Multiman:
Could it be a junction box?
Does it open?

I've just rewired my 400/4 and the loom to coils connection is under the tank, but just sleeved bullets so I assume this is a mod you have.

Here's an image of mine.
Ignore the fact that the coils are the wrong way round.
Ignore the fact that both coils have a yellow and black instead of one having a yellow and black and the other a blue and black (after market coils, the starboard coil is the one that should have a blue wire and is for pots 1&4)
Ignore the fact that it has no carbs on it, (this could be a clue to to the poor running)

Nurse Julie:
Whatever it is its not standard.

K2-K6:
From the colours of wire and number of them, plus linked to coils, suggests it's electronic switching of coils, possibly.

Does the wire route go to just the coils ? Or points ? Is it interlinked with those ?

More pictures of it to see detail.

This is how it links to my coils,  there  is also one other wire, a ground, that connatcs to the frame under the seat.
The box does not open, it is a sealed unit.
It does not itself connect directly to the points.
