yep, that is exactly what mine looked like...the stock plug doesn't have the silvery connecteor like the NGK plug. the stock plug has been modified. it's crap anyway...i bought a racing plug cap for $5 at my local cycle shop, and it fit the NGK.

you could try to unscrew the silver part of the NGK with pliers.

I thought the top of the NGK was supposed to be able to unscrew easily? I'd probably just get a new cap and wire at the auto parts store.

Just unscrew the top of the NGK.

Replace the plug cap and wire when you can. Buy a 7mm. Unscrew the old one from the CDI and screw the new one in.

Keep the wire as short as is practical.

Just grab the silver part with some pliers and squeeze it hard and unscrew it. I just did it to one to check it....it's removable
