Review on MOTOKU Ignition Honda CRF450R CRF450X by Joe Griffin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Old spark plug boots had to be replaced with new cables

I have a 2005 CRF450R that uses an NGK IFR8H11 spark plug. The spark plug has a strong terminal (where the plug cap is attached to the spark plug, it is not unscrewed to make the plug terminal). The MOTOKU ignition coil I ordered has a spark plug cap designed for the spark plug pin. It is too small and not suitable for a solid contact spark plug. So I swapped the new spark plug cap for the old/original spark plug cap. Note that the new ignition coil has a long silicone boot. You need to remove the spark plug cap. Be careful not to damage this part. I used my air compressor to take it off, but I was able to spray WD-40 around the edges and take it off. It was a short fight. After removing the boot, the spark plug cap is unscrewed from the wire that goes to the ignition coil. You will see a pipe with a copper wire laid inside. Take a suitable old original plug and screw it onto the cable. Take the new silicone boot you just removed, wet it with WD-40 and put it back on the spark plug cap. Pay for the OEM price of the ignition coil. I also couldn't find my spark plug size with a stud end.
