Anyone replaced their plug caps?
Re: Anyone replaced their plug caps?
Yeah I just used these and they’re working great with the iridium plugs.

Re: Anyone replaced their plug caps?
I have a theory that the main 'upgrade' when fitting stick coils is in fact that you've ditched the old HT leads and caps, not that the coils themselves were tired (though obviously sometimes they might be!), if the coils are still testing within spec.
I replaced the HT leads and caps on mine and kept the original coils (this was with 90-odd thousand miles on the bike, a 1998 model) and it literally felt like I'd put a brand new engine in.

It was you who gave me the incentive and encouragement to replace my old HT Leads on my Storm, if you remember

I was /am more than happy with the outcome

For those interested you can read my opinion and details on replacing the HT leads only here:
