RPM on Cylinders 2 & 3 twice that on Cylinders 1 & 2

I have a 2003 Yamaha F90TLRB.

When doing some testing the cylinders 1 & 2 read 1300 RPM, and cylinders 2 & 3 read 3600 RPM on a digital tach/timing light.
What does this mean or indicate?

Ignition Coil 1 fires cylinders 1 and 4, while Ignition coil 2 fires cylinders 2 & 3.
The ignition coils check good (resistance values and Peak VDC input voltages are the same).
I get the same results when the coils are swapped.

I understand its a waste-spark ignition system, but the crankshaft is turning at the same speed, so how is the RPM reading different?

Sorry guys.

Should have proof read my post. Title should say "RPM on Cylinders 3 & 4 twice that on Cylinders 1 & 2"

Cylinders 1 & 2 read 1300 RPM - Cylinders 3 & 4 read 3600PM with a digital tach/timing light.
