    GS550 Sparkplug cap

    hello guys,
    Does anyone knows the resistance of the sparkplug cap of GS550 '81 ?
    NGK has 3 different value 1K,5K and 10K and i would like to
    know if i can replace the original sparkplug cap with XD05F & VD05F which has 5K internal resistor.
    i would appreciate if anyone measure the value of the spark plug cap .

      I think that's what he's asking for.

      I would guess 5K, but that's just a guess, haven't bought any for a while.

      CAll Z-1 they have the right ones.

              No, just call Z-1, they know that they are doing, and shipping is always super quick.

              Ask for Jeff if you want, he's a member of this forum, but the other guys there know what they are doing too.

                  Z1 Enterprises specializes in quality Motorcycle parts for Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha Classic Japanese motorcycles from the 1970's and 1980's.


                  Still give them a call, the web page doesn't show the resistance values.

                      Stock caps are 5k ohms.

                          does anyone knows, if there is a way to test an ignition coil ?
