[QUOTE="DougRoost, post: 153582, member: 23019"] My understanding is you can use a HotWire with any type of spark plug. Of course they recommend a brand and type they sell, but it's not required. I'm sure they'll work on Yamaha thumpers since Nology recently developed a long reach boot version for DOHC dirt bikes, the most popular of which is of course the blue bikes we're discussing here (have this wire on my KLX). In fact, they make 2 comments on resistor plugs. From the instructions that came with mine: "HotWires for Motorcycles are compatible with all stock and most aftermarket ignition systems and are street legal. HotWires for Motorcycles are RFI and EMI protected and should not interfere with any onboard electronics devices. (See disclaimer on back of sheet)." "HotWires will provide the largest performance gain when non-resistor spark pluigs, with a resistance of less than 0.5 Ohms, are used." Interestingly, on the back is a disclaimer: "Spiral Core HotWires cannot be used on some engines with programmable ignition systems without installing resistor spark plugs. Rough engine idle and/or misfire can develop." [/QUOTE]
