Has anybody expirenced the broken spark plug wire at the coil, or broken plug end. And has anybody made new updated ones like using 8mm wires?

YeeoooW! ...Now bikes are faster, tons of people in the way, or a stink'in tree. -
i used vf 500 honda coils marine plug wires new caps and removed the resister and fixed all my ign problemscareful what you wish for.........you might get it -
The thread below is a good example of how to fix what ails ya. I tried this today, and decided I do not have that kind of patience. I will order a new set from accel as I have had good results there. Of course the ones available on MikesXS are much cheaper but some have had problems with them. I must also mention that on the XS UK forum they have tried other coils with good results, one of which has been mentioned. Anyways I have to say that I admire those who have the fortitude to fix these, I just am not one of them....

The accel come in a universal type kit. Everything you need is there. You do in fact have to assemble one end of the plug wires as they come long enough for many other applications. The crimp tool is included in the kit and is very easy to use.
