  • Wire to plug question

    I have chosen to replace my spark plug wires since it was time for a tune up and the bike has 32k on it. How do they go on? The old ones pulled off super easy. I noticed that the spark plug boot (both old and the new NGK units) screw into the spark plug wire. Do the wires screw into the coil as well? I can't really see into the coil to get a closer look.

    The boots just push onto the spark plug threads and that holds it firm. If you are asking about how the wire fastens to the boot it screws into the wire. It doesn't hurt to cut a 1/4" off each wire and re-thread onto the boot for a nice fit.

      Was wondering how the wire attached to the coil.

        There is a clip that holds it in place plus some epoxy to seal it. The clips are VERY easy to break but you can replace the wire with a solid copper core wire. It pushes onto a stud as instead of threading like the other end.

          Very easy to break the clips! Gently is the word.

            I don't have any clips. I can see where they would have went at some point though. I pushed them in and tried some epoxy. We'll see how that works out for me.
