Let the Saga Begin

After a week of riding the bike started to miss fire around 4000 rpm.

When I got home I pulled and changed the plugs. The plug wires looked old and the spark plug caps looked even worse. I decided to change the wires. Wrong. After doing some digging on the web I found that the plug wires were permanently attached to the coils. One post indicated you could dig out the plug wires and re-attached new wires.

I removed the plug wires and attempted to attach new wires and caps. It was a bodge at best. I took the bike out and the miss got worse. By the time I go home the bike quit and would not start. I checked for spark at the plugs and coils. No spark at all.

So for a few days I did some digging on ebay and found a used set of coils, wires and caps from a Ducati Monster. These coils has removable wires.

Now I just have to wait for them to be shipped.
