I have two Twinspark Dakars but they have their coils wired opposite. Both bikes run fine. I'm now trying to figure out which is the right way, or if this even matters at all. The usual info areas don't seem to have much info as to the ordering and wiring of these two coils (The chain gang, ADVrider etc).

Pouring over schematics and looking over random pictures, I *think* this is correct...

TOP: "Black" (BMW 7663048-06) With LT wires: Red/yellow, Brown, Black/Green. This is the primary.
SIDE: "White" (BMW 7679809-01) with LT wires: Red/yellow, Brown, Black/purple. This is the secondary.

Can anyone confirm?
