99 800 intruder spark plugs caps

[Andy+]

Does this bike use resistor or non resistor spark plugs caps?if it uses resistor caps,what is the proper resistance?it currently has 10 k ohm caps.and non resistor ngk's.it runs,10 k seems high to me,the caps look aftermarket.thanks in advance

It uses resistor caps. Not sure of the actual resistance. I do know that the resistor can ger corrosion on it and keep the thing from firing.

BTW, I read an article a few years ago that taking the resistors out can create a problem with the ignition box because of the electromagnetic interference.

While it does, kind of, make sense, I have never seen any proof of it being true.
