  • Honda CBX1000 Spark Unit
    CBX1000 6 CYLINDER SPARK UNIT/ IGNITOR MODULE SET 12 VOLTS Replacements for OKI MPS-200 Spark Units SYSTEM TYPE: HONDACBX APPLICATIONS: HONDA CBX1000 6 CYLINDER CONTENTS: • THREE SPARK UNIT MODULES • THREE-WAY WIRING HARNESS • THREE CABLE TIE ADHESIVE MOUNTING BASES • SIX LARGE CABLE TIES These units are replacements for the OKI MPS-200 Spark Units, or equivalent make (e.g. NEC). They are intended to work with the original pulse generators, mechanical advance and ignition coils. These units do not incorporate advance/retard. 2 WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK ALWAYS TURN OFF BEFORE WORKING ON THE SYSTEM BEFORE FITTING, PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, INCLUDING THE NOTICE ON PAGE 8. Good quality resistor plug caps should be fitted to the h.t. leads (e.g. NGK/DENSO 5K resistor type); these are standard equipment on most machines. Alternatively, resistor spark plugs can be used. Attempting to run the system without resistor type caps and/or plugs will result in excessive radio frequency interference (r.f.i.), which may cause bad running, misfiring and loss of ignition. Carbon fibre leads may be used, but for reliability we recommend copper or steel cored h.t. lead. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: 1. All connections must be of the highest quality, use crimped or soldered connections; twisted wires will not give a satisfactory operation. 2. Remove the seat to gain access to the original spark units (if fitted); these are normally located under the seat or battery compartment. Each of these units consists of a small alloy metal box with a mounting tab, secured to a tray with a screw.

Beyond the predictable, the expected? And what’s the best way to experience it? We ride motorcycles because they’re such engaging, active, personal vehicles. Travel the same roads in a car and on a bike, eat at the same restaurants, see the same sights, and then tell us which trip is the most memorable. Honda’s 2018 Gold Wing® is an all-new motorcycle this year, designed to put you more in touch with the essential experience of riding. Changing a bike as good and as refined as a Gold Wing isn’t something you undertake lightly. So we set out to improve the newest model in every category: Engineering. Handling. Technology. Comfort. Performance. The new Gold Wing is lighter, more powerful, more nimble, and more engaging. It’s a better motorcycle in every way. What lies beyond? Ride there and find out. YEARS OF ADVENTURE. THE FIRST GOLD WING—THE 1975 GL1000—WAS REVOLUTIONARY, A MOTORCYCLE THAT OFFERED SUPERBIKE-LEVEL POWER, INCREDIBLE SMOOTHNESS, LIQUID COOLING, SHAFT DRIVE, AND A HOST OF TECHNICAL INNOVATION UNMATCHED AT THE TIME IN THE MOTORCYCLING WORLD. RIDERS ACROSS THE GLOBE RECOGNIZED THE GENIUS IN THIS MACHINE, BUT ESPECIALLY RIDERS WHO WANTED TO COVER LONG DISTANCES. AND SO THE GOLD WING BECAME A TOURING ICON. OVER THE YEARS WE ADDED BODYWORK, SADDLEBAGS, AND INCREASED THE ENGINE SIZE.
