Seems like I read somewhere (can't find it now of course) that it is a good idea to replace the plug wire and boot on these kits. Being that the CDI unit is sealed how is this accomplished? Thanks, Evan
This is what I use. You can get in yellow, blue or red. Comes with enogh wire and boots to make about three leads.

Just how old was that brittle wire? and yeh the stock sparkplug is clearly crap.my stock wire might still be ok, but the boot, the crimp, and all the rest of the parts connected to it fell apart within weeks on my first bike. the "wire" itself is a brittle piece of crap, that's too short if you want to move your CDI.
when i took the stock plug off the head of my brand new, out of the box, never even mounted engine, the tip was bent sideways so bad it woulda only contacted half of the center electrode.
i paid like 8 bucks for 2 NGK B6HS plugs, 3' of solid copper core wire, 2 boots and crimps.
it's a small price to pay.
Thats true, the ignition system for our china girls is not powerfull enough to make a difference in high performance wires, and i have ran the sock cap and wire for 8000+ miles before, the reason i replace mine is due to the fact that the sun in Tucson takes a beating on just about everything, so i wanted a wire that was built for high milage and heat, no more brittle wire and the ones i am using are not copper core wires and there is no difference in power!!! I thought that there would be a difference but there isnt!!!This is a myth whoever first said that is wrong, that wire is better or the same as anything you will find the plug that goes on the spark plug may be crap to some peps, ive done 10,000km on a stock wire and boot with lots of off road ridin no difference. I have even dyno'd a stocka and a "hi performance wire" no difference your waisting you money, more strands of wire aint going to give you more power.
Roflmfao thats the funniest thing i have heard for a whilestv1jzgte, the wire was new, at least to me.
Yep im specialsomeone speaks a language i dont speak.......need a translator
Good input.I went ahead and bought the 3FT 7mm from Ebay for $4.50 along with a flashing spark plug cap!I bought a Magnicor wire and boot from SBP because I was looking for ways to get my speedo to work without reseting everytime I started the motor. Once I installed the new wire, The speedo works with no interference. Just thought Id throw this in here for people looking for ways to get their 10 dollar speedo to work.
yeeee haaaaa
