I was looking at replacing my plug wires, I noticed one of them dont click just right when removing. So I looked at cycle nation and they only sell the ends, does anyone know if anybody sells the whole thing.
Thanks.

I believe that in order to replace the spark plug wires, you would have to replace the coils as well. The cables appear to be molded into the coils. Good news, huh? I'm sure they won't be inexpensive.

Actually, a check on cheapcycleparts.com shows they aren't as costly as I would have thought:

21121 COIL, IGNITION, REAR 1 $66.61
21121A COIL, IGNITION, FRONT 1 $66.61

(I checked both 2001 FI and carbed and the parts are the same)

I seen the same thing, I didnt think plug wire came with the coil, then there was a part number for the plug ends and no part number for the wires, wish this was simple like a car. So I guess I will just buy the ends. Thanks.

You can squeeze the ends with a pair of pliers so they grip the spark plug cap a little tighter. I had to do this on my bike a while ago, as the plug wire popped off the spark plug.

Another easy fix, heck I didn't even think about squeezing it, thats cheaper and eaiser. Thanks.
