    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...

New spark plug wires.

I'm changing out the old spark plug wires with new ones in my original coils. The old wires have a rubber "insulation sleeve / tube" over the 7mm dia. plug wire. I would like to know if this rubber tubing is available ? I think I've seen rebuilt coils that have it. I haven't seen nominal size rubber tubing fitting the bill. I think it might be size specific tubing for that application ? I'm aware that there's shrink tubing out there, but prefer the rubber if it's available. Any help is, as always, appreciated. thanks, Skyhawk
 
Hello Ray.

I had similar. You can use shrink tubing. Cut to a lenght that will suit your purposes.

I don't think the extra insulator is really necessary. Maybe protection against abrasion?
 
Thanks, Glider... Yea, it's probably not necessary, and not that I'm a "fuss-bud" but the "heftier look" would be appealing. Thanks, Skyhawk

Don't think so. The original stuff is a rubber tube of some sort. I just redid the wires on my KZ750 (almost identical to GS coils) and was able to remove the tubes from the old wires and reinstall them onto new wire from Z1.



 
thanks for the correction Ed, i was thinking the stuff was thinner (my old coils are put away out of sight). good to know one can re-use the jackets. that re-wire job on the KZ750 coils is fantatstic BTW
 
Thanks for the input guys... I think Ed's coils were the ones I saw somewhere on the forum, They came out nice, and I may try to do that... or maybe try to use : 1/4" ID. X 3/8" OD. rubber tubing I saw on e-bay. I think the 1/4" ID. is very close to 7mm. Anyhow, thanks again... Skyhawk.
