    Spark plug caps???

    I have developed a bit of a stumble when cruising, It seems to go away whenI accelerate. I have not changed the spark plug caps but have done the wires. I looked up caps on Z1 and there are so many. I was wondering if anyone would know which are correct. The ones on the site that look like mine are the ones with the 102 degree bend. However there looks to be different sizes (10mm,12mm,14mm) and I dont know which ones I have. The caps I have now say Tokai Denso and have the number 11410 on them. This is for a 83 GS750E. Thanks for any help you guys can give!

    p.s. when I changed the wires it seemed to help a little but not totally.

    For use with stock wires:



    You can check the ones you have with an ohmmeter. Should be 5k-10k ohms. If it's much higher replace them. Are you using copper core wires with your coils?

      Im a lil over 10 ohms. Yes I am using copper core wires with stock coils. Im guessing the XB05F are the ones I need. They look the same I just dont know if they are the 14mm or not.

        If you call Z1 they will look it up and sell you the correct caps. They know which angles fit which bikes and which cylinders. I did that with my GS and I could not be more pleased.

                You're using NGK B8ES plugs, right? I do believe that's what the 14mm is about.

                      You need to call. With a telephone. And speak to a person. Seriously. You will get on-the-spot service, quick and accurate.

                        Call? What's that?

                        Using this chart posted by Matchless makes it easy to find the proper caps.
                        No need ask someone else what is right for YOUR bike.
