OK, so that sounded a little harsh, but as stated earlier, it's a known fact that if you put a small air gap between the plug and wire it creates a better spark but also puts a stress on the ignition system. It's also simple to figure out how the plugs work. The "thermal disk" is eithr a soft metal or bimetal piece that expands and closes the air gap as the plug heats up. It may actually work, but we well never know without them being tested.

To anyone who came on here with an attitude; it was really a very simple question; have you used them or not? If not, there was really no reason for your reply/opinion/advice/attitude.

There are newer bikes with electronic ignitions and run solid core wires. Better yet the outboard boat engines have solid core wires WITHOUT the resistors on the end of the wire. The boats I'm talking about are old and brand new. They are in a tight spot with everything close to each other. Come to think of it whhat about the magntic feild aroud the cap and distributor or every wire under a dash board of cars and trucks, and lets not forget the biggest magnetic feild around the earth. So you see your guy at the parts store has to work on more things and stop selling things:blink: :pinch: :S . I am not flaming your parts guy I dont know him/her.

Running solid wires with no resistor plugs or caps creates a lot of radio noise. It's clearly audible on a nearby radio. I would imagine most modern circuits are designed to reject RF interference, what with cell phones everywhere and all.

OOH! I had this idea the other night of converting a bike to run off discharge from a tesla coil! Wouldn't that be a cool sight???
