1982 gs850 coils, wires-are they fused to coils? the wires need replacing and i don't want to pull them out unless there is a pin or thread inside.

Yeah they're pretty much one peice...Ive seen guys pry them out, and then stick new in there and glue em in...dunno how much of a pain that is, or how effective it is either... If you need some good OEM coils, let me know, i prolly have some layin around. ORRR get a set of Dyna coils...they use standard sparkplug wires and can be changed out as needed separate of the coil...

Welcome to GSR.

Yes, wires are fused into the coils. I heard of others digging them out and replacing the wires somehow, will let others describe that.

When you say that the wires need to be replaced, let me ask this: Are you sure its not the plug caps that are bad? Those caps do twist off the wires (caps have a threaded spike in them that stab into the wire) and are readily available, and do go bad (high resistance) over time and usage.

re:1982 gs850 coils, wires-are they fused to coils?

yes the caps have been changed. the wires look bad that's why i wanted to change them just to eliminate a doubt that they are causing problems.

it is actually a friend of mine's bike and it has a problem at high revs, bogs down. had to duct tape the hole on airbox.
it has 4 in 1 exhaust and i'm wondering if that is causing a problem or if carbs need rejetting?

Boogs at hig revs .... custom exhaust .... airbox problems ....

SOmeone other than me is going to have to help you.

Bogs at high revs... Fix your airbox..like for real, not duct tape. You also probably have intake leaks elsewhere such as the intake boots, airbox boots, etc etc... A 4into1 WILL need a step or two up on the main jet, no matter what anyone tells you. It makes me angry that companies sell 4into1s claiming they dont NEED to rejet...its crap. They're full of crap and should be ashamed. sounds like you have alot more problems than plug wires my friend..

re:Bogs at high revs

yea thanks guys, the 4 in 1 i think is causing problems. the duct tape was just to see if it was running lean. my buddy bought it like this with the 4 in 1 and with this issue.
