sparkplug cap resistor
I have a burnt sparkplug cap resistor (10k Ohms). Can you buy these resistors seperataly or do I have to replace the whole cap assembly?
Also I do not seem to have a main fuse. I have the 4 fuses in the fuse black but no main 30amp fuse. have checked the whole loom. Cound someone provide a picture for the main fuse location?
Thanks
Michael

Re: sparkplug cap resistor
main fuse is on the solenoid
Yes you need a new cap cut about 5mm of the old wire and then screw the new cap onto it

Re: sparkplug cap resistor
So does anyone have some old spark plug caps (can be cracked) I just want the resistors out of them ?

Re: sparkplug cap resistor
Silly me, I didnt think aftermarket caps, Was quoted $66.00 australian each from Yamaha. Anyway I have picked up from a local wrecker a spark plug cap from a fzr250 which has the same resistor. $2.50. Will stick it in tonight, fingers crossed.Evilchicken0 wrote:Aww c'mon .... spark plug caps are better bought new and they don't cost much

Just looking at the NGK catalogue for matching resistor caps.Evilchicken0 wrote:Ah, yes well I'm sure the Yam ones are that cost ... but NGK make them too
NGK don't seem to make a straight resistor cap in the 10k ohms.
What are people using ?
