Moderator Airhead Posted November 9, 2016 Moderator Share Posted November 9, 2016 You cant detach the leads on these modern bikes, Rather than shelling out for new coils perhaps It'd be much cheaper to cut back to good pliable lead and connect some new HT lead via a purpose built connector? http://www.trialsbits.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=714 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Airhead Posted November 10, 2016 Moderator Share Posted November 10, 2016 you might get some HT lead from your local motor factors shops, check them out or google search the web which I did here and you can get all you need from them? http://www.wemoto.com/parts/electrical_spark_plug_cap/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike1949 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Do you know what? I've never had to replace my plug leads on any of my bikes (car a lot of times) Have you ever realised if car leads get wet it causes problems but bike leads are open to all types of weather so I must presume they are very robust to say the least, so does surprise me a little bit that you've got brittle ones. But, if I where in you're situation I would definatley go for Airheads suggestion of fitting connectors. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
