Steve G. Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Whatever you get, confirm they are nothing but wire core, avoid carbon core at every expense. NGK has a great copper core wire available. Same red color as stock. Ciao, Steve G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlaing Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Here is another option. http://www.tpoparts.com/catalog/product_in...?products_id=46 TPO Dragons, made from MSD magnetic suppression wires. I think they are 8.5mm of engineering overkill. Thanks for posting the question. You made me get off my butt and find where I had seen these, and order them. Someone else used to sell the MSD on eBay custom fit for our bike but I could not find them...or maybe it was the same company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard100t Posted July 3, 2005 Author Share Posted July 3, 2005 THose wires look really good. Pretty pricey at $50 each with shipping! Are they worth it? Anyone have an opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docc Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 My red plug wires are looking pretty ratty. Made worse when I sprayed the bike with SuperClean. Mistake. Well, all the engine finning looks great, but all the hard plastic and the plug wires got white splotches. So, does anyone have some wires where they can be measured? Is one meter long enough? I was considering this NGK product hoping the shade of red is compatible: https://www.ebay.com/p/7mm-Red-Silicone-Spark-Plug-Wire-NGK-Racing-Cable-1-Meter-for-ATV-Motorcycle/1362962591?iid=252329743437&chn=ps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, all the engine finning looks great, but all the hard plastic and the plug wires got white splotches. So, does anyone have some wires where they can be measured? Is one meter long enough? I was considering this NGK product hoping the shade of red is compatible: The old plug lead I keep as a spare in the monkey paw trap measures 670mm long, but I don't know if it was left or right. The leads will be different lengths left to right due to cylinder offset. Two 1m lengths will do the job. The plug caps screw on to one end, but you will need the crimp terminals for the coil end. BTW, the white writing on the leads will wipe off with isopropyl alcohol (actually several wipes). Have you tried that for your white splotches? The NGK leads I bought came with red sleeving as well, which is good to put where the leads chafe on the frame and throttle bodies. Heat shielding is not necessary with silicone insulation, but abrasion protection is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Thanks, Marty! I still may fit new plug wires on my next Tank Off Maintenance, but the isopropyl alcohol did clean up the splotches, then I polished the original red wires with AutoGlym polish. Worked a charm! Polished plug wires! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docc Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Polished plug wires! Uhhh, Docc.. you may have a problem.. This is no secret! Original plug wires Docc? Yep. Plug cap resistors have been changed out as well as the connection to the right coil. Resistance checked on the wires a few years back. How many years? Hmmmm . . . . A "few!"
