HT leads and plug caps.

First a wee bit of history.
I have been trying for ages to get a plug cap (NGK YB50F) for my GS1000ET with no luck. There is some issue with the importer blah blah.
So I thought bugger it and bought some red dyna leads (cause red will make it faster)
The leads are copper and caps have no resistors.
My understanding is that the resistors were only for filtering RF. Correct?
The ET has transistorised ignition. Will the RF affect it? Do I need resistor plugs?
Cheers
 
I don't think you need resistor caps per say, but cars you drive past might start to target you since the bike may mess up their radios.

I trust you understand that getting the stock coil wires loose is not assured - sometimes they come out and sometimes they don't. Of course, if you have aftermarket coils this last comment is moot.

Good luck.
 
i bought ngk plug caps in akl just the other day
dont know the code but they are 120deg long
bought 4 of and they fit just fine

look better than those rubber caps you get with those leads, imho 8-[

I had no probs getting the long caps but they just stuck out to far and looked a bit lame.
It was going to cost me more in freight from Auckwardland than from the 'States
Your right The NGK caps look better. When I find some (at the right price) I will put them on.
Cheers

Be carefull here standard caps are 8k resistance if you change both you are taking 16k resistance out of coil secondary,I tried straight through non resistive NGK caps on my GS1000g and it affected running changed back to standard and was fine,Cheers Paul J....
 
About the long caps sticking out: The long ones used in center two cyclinders. Shorter one on cyl 1 & 4 so they dont stick out so far taward you knee.

Dont know how this compares to your 1000E, but on my 1100G they are XB05F and VB05F (dont recall which is the short and which is long).

Thats right mate.
There are two long caps on the center two pots and shorties on the outside.
Of course it is the outside one that is cracked.
