Resistor Plugs? Resistor caps?

[interfuse]

I've still got the stock spark plug caps on my bike. The resistance on the old plug caps is 10k ohms.

I bought a set of bandit 400 carbs, coils, and plug caps off ebay. The plug caps are NGK SB05F (5Kohm).

On the NGK site for the GSF400 it lists the plug cap as XD05FP.

I believe both have 5k ohm resistance. Is the difference between NGK SB05F & XD05FP just the bends of the caps? Can I use these NGK caps instead of the stock caps?

Unless I'm missing something, I'd assume you'd want the lowest resistance possible -- without causing interferance or backlash to your CDI. I'm guessing dropping the resistance from 15k to 10k probably wouldn't cause much harm if NGK is recommending 5k plug caps as a replacement. Can anyone confirm this?

The plugs I'm using are NGK CR8EKs. I think the "R" indicates that the plug has a resistor. When I measure the plugs they have a 4.25k ohm resistance.

good to go and yes resister.

I figured you'd know. I picked up some plug wires as well. I'll give it a go as soon as the weather gets nicer.
