You can also just change the spark plug boot to get rid of the resistor end. I was fighting water issues on my Banshee and replaced the boots with I think NGK boots. Got rid of the resistor boot and fixed the water issue all in one shot.

I'll be doing it over the winter on my 700. DL knows his stuff, he is one of the best builders out there. Good website too! The guy I bough my 700 from is the owner of that forum, cool guy.

scrool down to 8mm Spiro-Pro Spiral-Wound Core - Repair Kit Buyer's Guide and select the color/style you want!

custom colored wires! $13.36


edit..... I beleve these are also resister wires

I think the 8mm Pro Series TCW wire is the one to use. It should be a stranded wire core. Not as many color choices, though.

i wonder how this would work with a aftermarket coil?

yeah, i noticed that after i posted all that. i went ahead and ordered the orange spiro pro anyway, it should be compareable to the accel wire used in the dyno test and if its not I'll have an orange wire at least. lol

yes, very good question lol I havent rode this thing in a few years so I wouldnt know.

 

[mattskn]

I dont think the wire in the 88 model is made to be removed from the coil the wire is glued into the coil. anyone have a 89 or newer coil that I can retro fit to my bike.
