    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I'm a newbie and I'm looking for advice on this! My bike isn't getting spark so I figure that the first step would be to replace the plugs and wires and then go from there. Any recommendations on where/what to get for wires and plugs? I was considering NGK seeing as its a solid brand when it comes to this stuff but any info would help. Thanks!
 
z1enterprises has the wires, they are dirt cheap, i just did a set about 2 weeks ago on a GS650, slightly cut the epoxy, then have a friend hold your coil and just pull on the wire, comes out with a small amount of force. You may have to pull some of the left overs out of there also... then coated the wire with a small amount of black silicone and push it all the way in (make sure its all the way in) someone may suggest a different route with the wires...
and yes NGK is the way to go, i use them on all of my cars (Audi and VW's) and all of the bikes

Thanks for the help! I'll look into those.
 
are you positive you plugged the wires to the coil correctly?
