Title: Spark plug wires?
Post by: Garrett on August 15, 2011, 06:09:03 PM
My parts bike is missing a plug wire but the coil is still there. Is there a way to get just the wire? All the ones I see on ebay are wires+coils.

Thanks,

Most likely 7mm (measure the wire on the other side)- any auto parts store should have them.

As far as attaching it to the coil, I dunno about the stock ones. Theoretically, you should be able to expose some wire and epoxy it inside the coil. But I haven't done it myself, so that's just a guess.

The plug wire screws into the coil.  Just cut it off square and screw it in tight, best to put a big dab of dielectric grease on it before screwing it in.  I had a loose one on my 02 GS and I trim it or replace it about once a year when I check valves.  They can work loose if not bonded in like oem come.  Got a 6' length of wire from Dennis Kirk for a few bucks years ago.
