Default Plug Wire question
Seems difficult to find a set of wires for my 15 slim. I wanted either white or maybe even the vintage style cloth wrapped wires. I purchased a set of twisted brand white but the connections don't seem right and the dealer said theyd pop off....can anyone help?

in white.

EFI systems incorporate an "Anti-knock" feature that operates by reading the current resistance through the plugs. Id make sure what ever wires you get support it.

All UsKooLines wires are compatible with TC engines. Sorry I don't have white, but here are their chrome plug wires installed on my bike.
