joecool85 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 How do I know what to get for spark plug cap and wires for my 1982 XS400SJ? IE - do I need a 1k, 5k or non resistor cap? Inductive wires? Regular 8mm spark plug wires? Do I need a resistor plug or just a regular style BR8ES or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecool85 Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 Seriously? You guys don't know what I need for my bike? **edit** Looks like since it's a CDI bike it should take standard copper core wires and 5k resistor caps (I'll go with NGK like I always do). For the plugs I'll just stick with whatever the manual recommends (I don't remember now, I'd have to check). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got standard caps, sparkies and aftermarket coils ( the wires are sealed in mine) best to stick with original spec drewps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joecool85 Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 none restistor caps and DR8ES-L spark plugs for dohc model there is and online manual you can down load HERE I have that and some service manual I downloaded as well. Neither one said anything about spark plug caps, and listed non resistor type plugs (BP-7ES). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
