K1600 Cylinder firing Order

(1/4) > >>

Good morning All from the West Desert USA.  I noticed there is some potential misinformation regarding the K1600 firing order.  Can someone please nail it down with some firm clarification?  My Gs911 says my #2 coil has a fault.  I replaced all 6 coils jan 2022.  Maybe I just got a bad lemon.  Anyway "I Think" the #2 coil is cylinder #5?  So sitting on the k1600 facing forward is cylinder #5 the 5th one counting left to right?  So...."I think" the k1600 cylinders are (from left to right sitting on the bike facing forward) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6  but eh coil firing order is 1, 5, 3 6, 2, 4????  So if my GS911 say coil #2 is bad then it is located on cylinder #5 correct?  Sounds like one of my college math classes. 

GS Jim:
Don't know if this helps but the BMW RSD says to check valve clearance by setting TDC in order of 1,5,3,6,2,4 and numbers the cylinders 1-6 L-R facing forward.

Thanks GS Jim.  I just needed some hand holding before I drain the radiator for the third time and swap out coils.  It thanks me 8 hours and my back reminds me weeks later.  it is easy work but just a crunch position without a lift

Hello
No, I don't think so. Don't overelaborate it 8) Sometimes german engineers make it easy.
Coil #2 works for cylinder #2

GS Jim:
Could always try disconnecting a coil and see how it shows up on the GS 911 or move the suspect coil around and see if the problem moves with it. Much easier with the R1200 although left is 2 and right is 1, so never assume you you know how those wily germans are thinking😂
