Replacement spark plug caps

Post by James0541 »

Does anyone know of any suitable spark plug caps to replace the originals, I'm having trouble finding a pair of genuine caps in the UK. Is there a suitable alternative...TDM maybe?

Thinking these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/YINETTECH-Spar ... NW85YX9QTH

Further to the above, I'm getting a 12k ohm reading on each cap, Haynes states 10k, interweb states 5k, which is right? Does 12k indicate the caps need replacing?

Thanks, James

I normally go to electrex first for any electrical parts. Closest to original for stators, coils etc.

Thanks for the link, unfortunately, no spark plug caps for the Super Tenere.

Thanks charliext1vj,

I have the Fowlers app, what a waste of time that is as it doesn't list the plug caps. I got a pair from CMS in the Netherlands, arrived in two days - 124 euro for the pair delivered. Bike now runs fine.
