On the GT250, the coil for cylinder 1 is mounted just behind the oil cooler at the steering post. The second coil is installed on the inside of the left hand side frame just under the petrol tank. This engine does really get very hot being air cooled. Mine reaches at least 112C when outside temperature is above 30C. However when I put my hands on either coil after a long run I don’t get the impression they get hot at all, at least on the outside. Just bearably warm.

Regarding connectors, my 2013 bike has a mix of connectors installed. The ones installed on the engine electrics including the ECU seem pretty good and water tight. The rest are rather mediocre. They are not water tight at all and not even gold plated. Unfortunately two of these are the connector for the 15A fuse and as well as that for the main relay. The +12V feeding the ECU and the other engine electrics comes off these 2 components which seems rather stupid to me. To make matters worse the wire used to carry this 12V supply seems ridiculously thin to me.
