Scrambler Coil Installation

Good morning all. I just received a pair of replacement coils for my 06 Scrambler and later today plan to install them. After reading up in my Triumph manual, looks simple enough. Do you really need to disconnect the battery, or is this just in case somebody decided to turn the ignition switch on during the install? I'm thinking not, but just asking because I do not want to burn the replacements up or injure myself in the process!

 

I believe I'll do that, since it's so simple. Thanks for your speedy reply! I am a 'better safe than sorry' type anyway.

 

Yes sir, it is carb fed ad no Mel light. Things have changed a lot since 2006.
