Mates,
After suffering through a rain induced misfire at the last Brands race I've decided to replace the HT leads and plug caps. Unfortunately, I've been too busy (lazy!?) to pull the bike apart to check which caps I need. Can anyone here save me the trouble? I'm likely to order them from sparkplugs.co.uk as I've used them before but there are clearly a number of very similar caps to choose from.

Thanks

Re: Plug Caps
For rain to get to the caps it needs to go up the rubber seal around the HT lead - why not just tie wrap around the rubber seal so that there is no path for water ingress. If the HT leads / caps work in the dry then the issue isnt the leads/ caps - its the ability of water to get past the seals.
I used HT lead from the loca car shop - 1.5/m and ensured that there was a good water tight seal at the coil and the plug cap - no problems wet or dry
