While I was pulling the boot from my spark plug the wire broke off from the boot.  :shock:
Inside the boot and the end of the wire was totally corroded, so its time for some new wires. Wondering what type or brand anyone would recommend.

I replaced mine with the a set from the dealer. I do not remember how much they cost, however I feel it was reasonable and worth it. Let us know if you find a good aftermarket replacement.

Cut the bad part of the wire off and "screw" the boot back on the wire.  A little silicone on the outside of the wire will help greatly.  Hopefully you have enough length. I've done this until I ran out of length of wire needed or resistance measurement out of spec.  I then stayed with stock wires and ordered them from BikeBandit.com.  It wasn't cheep but I was assured of not changing the recommended resistance specifications.
