How
to make a good job even better?By keeping an eye on resistor covers you can do the whole tune-up job properly. We all know that spark plugs need to be changed during a tune-up, but how often do you check your resistor covers?
Why do resistor covers need to be changed regularly?
Because motorcycles work in harsh operating environments and deterioration of the resistor covers is common. This deterioration can lead to the ingress of water and other contaminants, which can cause voltage leaking problems that result in a flash over.
But why change resistor covers that don't look damaged?
While cracks or damage can be easy to detect, hardened rubber seals that expose spark plugs to the elements are not so obvious.
At NGK, we offer a wide range of spark plugs and matching resistor covers for the motorcycle industry.
So next time you change a set of plugs remember, it's also important to fit new resistor covers periodically for optimum sparking performance.
