    Spark plug caps

    Well, I took a tumble yesterday pulling in my dads driveway. Tried to avoid the mud as there's always a puddle. Back tire slip in and down on the left side I go, I was able to catch it with my foot and get it back up, looked it over, no damage to the bike(or so I thought). But I had a nasty bruise on my right knee. Thought I hit the gas tank or something. I rode the 27 miles back home and she was fine on the way back. One of my associates at work today pointed this out, bruise makes more since now





    So my question is where is the best place to get the 5k ohm caps? I was thinking of upgrading coils but I've spent enough on the bike recently. Any help would be great!

          Hmm, good eye. I don't believe it is, as I had jeans on with no blood. Red Oklahoma mud maybe? I'll investigate tomorrow.
          I had to call yamaha for prices on caps - 8.99 a piece. Went online and got all four for 20 shipped

            That's a stealer, not a dealer....
