    + is toward the back of the bike, - toward the front. The writes are not really long enough to switch though, so I don't see how you could, and they definitely won't reach if the battery is installed backwards.

    Just look at it. There's only one possible way it makes any sense.

    oh, sorry. I thought you were talking about the battery.

    In that case the spark plug wires should be in order from left to right, mirroring how they come out of the coils

    If you have aftermarket coils, I do not know the front to back order on the coil itself and how it is supposed to relate to the actual plugs.

    No. I have the originals ignition coils. Iwas searching and i
    Found a page where it says the left coil is for 3-2 spark plug and the
    Right coil is for 4-1 sparks plug

    That is correct. They both spark at the same time, so there is no issue if they are mixed up on the correct side.

    Yup, the left coil sparks 1 and 4, right coil sparks 2 and 3. Each coil will fire both wires at the same time, so it doesn't matter which goes where, as long as 1 and 4 lead to the left coil.

    You type faster than I do. 1 and 4 are interchangeable, as is 2 and 3.

    Yup those numbers are normal. They are just different part numbers.

    Not sure what you mean by the coil's socket... you mean it's connector that comes from the TCI box? Those ones are specific for the left or right coil. I don't have a wiring diagram but I'll look it up for you in a little bit unless someone else answers.
