Ian, you've replaced Coils, HT leads, and spark plug caps, correct? It's my understanding that you need resistors in either in the The leads, the caps, or the plugs, but only in one of the 3, no more. So, unless you have resistor in the leads or caps, get the R (resistor) plugs. If you already have resistors in the leads or the caps, then get the non-R plugs. Redman knows all about this stuff and has written a bunch on it. I probably should have paid attention more. He'll correct me if I'm wrong, and I very well could be. Have you tried searching for thread using Advanced. put resistor plugs in the keywords and change the search criteria to Titles Only? I have, you'll get 54 threads to research.Rich

Went through this on the 450 after replacing the resistor caps, non-resistor plugs are no longer being produced and are difficult to find but ARE out there, check eBay. I was lucky enough to find some at an out-of-the-way store in the middle of no-where covered in dust.1980 Yamaha XS1100G (Current bike)

Ian, i have already told you your bike has NGK resistor plug caps. You don't need resistor plugs.Last edited by earlfor; 07-02-2021, 05:57 PM.Komorebi-The light filtering through the trees.
