I bought 2 different 18mm that had too wide walls, but my next door neighbor had one that fits perfectly and with the wobble extension its super easy. Think i will grind the walls a bit thinner with a belt sander or something, on one of the extra 18 mm i got, just to have it under the seat if needed. Good advice and loved you showing of the propper placement of cables on coils!. Thanks for all your help in the group aswell :).
A 3/8 drive standard 12mm plug socket on a woble bar extension fits straight in without issue. Couldn't be any easier.... no other messing around adapting needed.
Thank you for your kind words. I suppose my reason for doing these videos is to help people exactly like you. I hope you are finding some joy and not getting too frustrated with it 👍🏻
@@MrLefthooker I watch every GPZ video from start to finish. There is not enough information about this bike on the internet. Can you record something about the AVDS system? How to service?
Also my Plugs wires were switched around and it still ran. Cant seem to get it fire now. it'll hit for a couple seconds and then cut out. Thank you ill try this when i get out to it.
The coils fire twice, so if the HT leads from a coil are swapped over it doesn't matter. What matters is, left coil 2&3, right coil 1&4. If you find the coils are swapped, look for the low tension wires on the back of the coils. They both have a red, but the black one is on the right and green on the left. I've seen the loom being put on all wonky putting those wires on the wrong side so it looked like the coils were mixed up.
That doesn't sound right. It's certainly not standard. Either the plug cap has fallen apart inside or someone put something there that isn't original GPZ. Throw it away and get 4 new plug caps 😉

Many roads lead to Rome I presume ☺️
you give me so much valuable information to start my granny. There is progress even though I don't know anything about mechanics

Just went through this too. Swivel and extension was solution.
