  • Mike XS Coil Upgrade parts list help

    Hi guys, finally getting around to replacing my coils on my 79SF. Just want to make sure I'm ordering the right parts and not missing anything . . .

    2 x High Output Replacement Ignition Coil
    Part #17-6803


    2 x Spark Plug High Tension Wires
    Part #23-2902


    4 x NGK Resistor Spark Plug Cap (5K Ohms)
    Part #23-3113

    is this correct?
    Here is a quick link to the parts site. . .

    I am not sure if they are the correct caps, but NGK Plug Cap - LB05FP 5k Resistor*** (23-3113) are out of stock according to the web site.

      Go for the NON RESISTOR plug caps. You can then buy the resistor type plugs (much easier to find!) and run them, including the iridium plugs! Make sure they are NOT the oem type, so you don't need to pull the ends off the plugs! That is what I've done on my daily ride. Plugs and coils work great, I just need to get the carbs running correctly.

        I have a 79SF that I've done the MikeXS coils on. You do not need those plug wires or caps. Just buy the coils then go to Autozone or whatever you Canuks have and buy some coil wires. They usually sell them individually and you can sometimes pic your colors. I have 8mm coreless and they work great...it was cheap too. Good Luck!

            Kevxs, those caps from Mike's will work, but the correct ones for the 2 inner cylinders are these, they're a bit longer to keep the wires from touching the head. They are the type for the removed tip plugs though...

                  I'm running Accel coils, wires and caps on my hop up bike with what I think are standard plugs. They are Champion cross reference replacements for what would have been stock. Isn't the resister type plugs or caps just to prevent interference with radios?
