[QUOTE="jdegase, post: 12239, member: 295"] I removed the resistors in the caps, replaced them with small solid copper rods. as far as ignition I didnt change anything else. now heres what I had before the change.. at 2000 RPM in 4th gear a quick twist of the throttle to WOT would cause the bike to stumble and miss a bit, even though it would eventually get up above 3000 and straighten out. now after the change same situation .. 4th gear 2000 RPM , quick twist to WOT. an even pull, no miss, and much faster rpm gain to over 3000. on my bike, above 3000 didnt seem any differnt. and I didnt see any large gain in MPG. noteable change in lower RPM range. no increased idle speed. didnt seem smoother any other way except under a load. strangely. it seems to start harder. after the change I put on around 100 miles last night. and every stop it seem to start much harder more cranking than befor the resistors removed. I dont really understand that, since it should have hotter spark it should start quicker. but befor thye change I only had to bump the starter( even when cold) and the bike would fire right up. theres one thing I have never been inside on this bike. the ignition pickup. I could have sticky machanical advance, or even a bad vacume advance. the longer spark time could have been masking a timing issue. I plan to look into this. also I noticed a slight valve noise last night after warming up, so I plan a valve check/adjustment, and carb resynch. and hopefully I'll have the time to give the ignition a once over. I'm currently running DPR8EA-9 plugs so absolutely stock except [u]no cap resistors[/u]. for an 83' [/QUOTE]
