Guess we will find out....

I don't know about Jay's guess of a graphite embedded thread for the ignition wire.

Should I be able to see the graphite?

I looks to me like just a piece of string with a thin wire coiled around it.




I purchased some real low tech ignition wire....stranded steel:






After I removed the stock wire from the coil, I twisted the new wire on until it bottomed out....it seems like a solid connection.

Then did the same with the new NGK spark plug cap.

I've been riding for two days on and off pavement. There seems to be no difference in operation of the bike.

We will see how long it lasts.
