Plug Wires

[Menace]

I have a 2001 Yamaha YZ125. Does anyone know where I can get larger/thicker plug wires for it?

OK, I'll bite.

Why do you want a larger/thicker plug wire?

 

[Menace]

Larger/thicker wires= bigger spark. bigger spark=more gas igniting. more gas igniting= more power. i want to put a larger carb on my bike but it is pointless if the extra gas from the carb isn't igniting.

:scream: :scream:

It looks like it's time to put down the video game controller and read a BOOK about basic electricity.



I'll get you started down the path to enlightenment with some info from Magnecor , who produce the best race plug wires on the planet.


From the Magnecor document "THE TRUTH ABOUT IGNITION WIRE CONDUCTORS"


Every brand of spiral conductor ignition wires will perform the function of conducting coil output to the spark plugs, but NONE, despite the claims made in advertisements and other promotional literature, will increase horsepower. Independent tests, including a test performed by Circle Track Magazine (see May, 1996 issue) in the USA, show that NO "low-resistance" ignition wires for which a horsepower increase is claimed do in fact increase horsepower - the test also included comparisons with solid metal and carbon conductor ignition wires.

Forget the sparkplug wire and go get a library card.

Of course Ihave to agree.

But then I have a library card!
