Spark plug caps

Post by Zulliz »

Hi there

Some weeks ago my bike wouldnt start after work, and my first thought was that it was the spark plugs, since they probably havent been changed for years, so today i changed em. But then i noticed when i put on my spark plug caps, that 2 of them wouldnt really grab on like they should, so i started up my bike and it was only firing on 3 cylinders. So now ive decided to changespark plug caps and ignition cables.

Now my question is, the original spark plug caps are quite long, where do i find some that can replace them? if u know id like a link so i can see em.

Thanks in advance :)

your options are -
buy new
put up a wanted ad on here in the classifieds section as someone here is bound to have a spare set
ebay
or a member here called falloffslowly who breaks ZXR's

have you tried making a fresh cut on the end of the cable and screwing the caps back on?

If you goto a kawasaki dealer they should be able to get them if they have the parts book. If you not then check out the microfiche manuals for the part number and take that in and there shouldnt be any reason why they cant order it.
