  • Plug wires

    Something I've never done before is make my own plug wires. I need to replace the wires on my daughter's bike, and was told by the parts guy at Honda that I would be able to put them together myself a LOT cheaper than buying them from him. I can't imagine it being too difficult, but like I said, I've never done it before. Any tips? Thanks!

    Hi Mike,
    use plug wire that has real copper wire in it. Stainless-core plug wire nicked from an airplane factory has too much resistance.
    Graphite filled car plug wire is just rubbish.
    Are the stock wires moulded into the Honda's coil? There's advice in this site on how to rewire those.

      Accel Wires I bought a super coil and installed it according to instuctions on this site. I'm having good luck with the Accel kit for 4 Cylinder vehicles. It comes with enough parts and looks nice on the xs.
