Plug wire arcing
Plug wire arcing
I have a 2003 883r.I was out riding today and the bike started backfiring and sputtering.I got it home and pulled in the garage.It was dark in there \\; and I look at the motor and the plug wire for the rear cylinder is arcing.It is doing this right at the coil.From the rubber boot to the top of the motor.Do i need new wires?Or coil?Any help would be great

RE: Plug wire arcing
I'd be tempted to replace both if that happened to me. \\; Or, replace the wires first to see if that solves it (the cheapest way). \\; If it still does it, replace the coil. \\; If still doing it, drop back 10 and punt. \\; Of course this is just my uneducated, non-mechanic opinion. \\; Hopefully someone will come along that actually knows what they are talking about.
