Ignition Wires and coil was created by jseagraves
I am making a large purchase from Z1 tonight and the last thing I need to figure out (without the manual) is what size ignition wires and what type caps I need to get? Does anyone know? and what about coils is there specs on those that I should know about?
Thanks

I'm assuming from the fact that the copper wires Z1 sells only come in 7mm that that's the size you need. I'm also assuming that the plug caps that come with the wires will work for you. I could be wrong about that, but I'm pretty sure your bike has a mechanical advance & therefore uses the copper wires.

Really, though, your best bet is to place your order by phone & ask Jeff which ones you need.

Cheers,

Must I use copper plug wires if I have a mechanical advance? I'm using Accel graphite 8.8mm wires with non resistor plugs, non resistor caps, with a Dyna S.

Should I be using copper?

I just bought a coil and wires from Jeff@z1enterprises.com.

I just emailed him, and he and I went back and forth a few emails about the specifics, and I ordered the correct one with confidence.
