2002 fazer
Ive changed the caps to NGKs six months ago, after the bike was running rough in the rain, and it sorted the problem.
Its now losing power again, it will pick up under hard acceleration, as if a cyl is kicking in under the vibration or somthing. generally, its bearable though.
the other day i hears a clicking sound, it seems to be coming from the near side cap, it doesnt always happen immediately, but after a short ride it clicks again.
i took lead off whilst it was running, and before it died , i heard a similar click, as the lead arced out.
Now im not 100 per cent sure the click is deffo that, but as i have problems in the rain, or after washing it, im thinking it may be worth changing the leads.
when i changed the plug caps last time, i snipped 10mm off the leads to get it to contact with clean metal. the leads are now a bit tighter, and they wont take another snipping.
The problem is, new yamaha coils/leads are pretty expensive . if i have to buy them ill accept it, but on every other bike ive had ive been able to buy the coils/leads caps seperately.
So, the question is, will another aftermarket coil fit on, thats not permanently attached to the lead? that way if im replacing leads, i dont have to replace the whole unit?
Also, if i did have to stick with fazer coils, and i went for used, would late model ones work on mine? Its a bit of a risk buying 16 year old coils and leads as one unit id have thought....
Im not keen on the idea of the conversion that uses caps with integral coils, as im not great at wiring, and im not really that keen on the look of them either......
Thanks in advance for any info...
