Ballast resistor?

I bought some new dyna dual output 3.0 Ohm coils from Z1E a little while ago and in the description it says "For some Kawasaki bikes with a resistor in the circuit (KZ1000 79 & 80), the 3 ohm coil is the best choice - just remove the ballast resistor from the circuit.". Just wondering where the ballast resistor would be found? I'm not sure what I'm looking for :laugh:


Oh, the coils are for the 79 KZ1000st

Don't know where it is, but maybe the parts diagram can give a clue.

# 19 is a "resistor" in the parts list.
