Posted February 14, 200916 yr 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?
February 15, 200916 yr Author 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).

I just got standard caps, sparkies and aftermarket coils ( the wires are sealed in mine) best to stick with original spec drewps

By standard caps do you mean non resistor caps?

February 22, 200916 yr Author 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).
