Newbie. I did a search. I have the manual. I cannot find a resistance specification for the plug wires.

Engine running very rough. Just replaced coil. Sprayed intake with WD-40 and I don't seem to see a change in engine RPM when I spray around intake manifold (but the damn thing is running so rough I might not be able to tell).

Measured the wires: Front is 3000 ohms for 4.5", Rear is 6200 ohms for 15". This computes to about 5000-8000 ohms per foot, or 400-600 ohms per inch.

Doesn't seem bad.

Someone said there's some "night test" where you run bike at night look for sparks coming through insulation gaps ?

Waiting for nightfall....... Thanks for your help !

 

Specs in my FSM are 250-583 ohms per inch.

 

Thanks ! Wires don't seem to be shorting - sprayed with water, ran screwdriver along them while running at night.

Still probsbkly should replace plugs and wires to eliminate.

Thanks for your help !

 

Eliminate any doubt.A set of stock wires cost a bit more than $10-NO BRAINER.
