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

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

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

Aww c'mon .... spark plug caps are better bought new and they don't cost much

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.

Ah, yes well I'm sure the Yam ones are that cost ... but NGK make them too

Just looking at the NGK catalogue for matching resistor caps.
NGK don't seem to make a straight resistor cap in the 10k ohms.
What are people using ?

I'd use whatever they recomened for the bike or FZR600 TRX850 etc
