And that is from the UK. One 'local' (other side of the country) ebay seller is asking for $220 for the same thing! I got the whole lot from the US for under AU$75 posted Shaynus. A bit of patience will pay off mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer KevCarver Posted April 26, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted April 26, 2018 Got it fully finalized today. I bought some better soldering gear and heat gun for heat shrink tubing so I could permanently join the CBR plugs to the VFR harness. #3 wire was a tad short making it tighter than I wanted, so I added some length. I have most of a ZX636 wiring harness and found one wire to match. The other will have to be brown... I found some fancy high temp resistant tape used by auto manufacturers for under hood wiring.(Tesa 51036, btw) Figured it was worth a shot. More like a cloth than traditional stretch electrical tape. I still suck at wrapping, though... I didn't trust my jenky soldering to not eventually poke through the heat shrink, so I gave each one a wrap of tape. Starts on the button, as they say. Actually better than it had been recently. It was taking 2 pushes when cold, now it fires right up with the first push! I'll probably change the plugs at some point soon-ish. I don't remember how long they've been in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually been practicing my soldering this evening and I could do it so much better then I did the other day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer adkfinn Posted June 22, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted June 22, 2018 I posted this in my refurb thread already, so if you've seen it before apologies. I completed my COP swap recently and this thread was an excellent guide. I chose to use the boot/seal over the top style COP's common to GSXR's and, like others, found the length/plug engagement/and seal to work seamlessly on the VFR. One tip - I pulled the rubber seal and installed it first, then inserted the coil second. This ended up meaning the seals sat a bit lower on the coil, just below the notched area they sat in originally. The fit around the coil is a little tighter because of this, and the seal over the plug tunnel is very positive as well. We will see if they move around, I haven't had the bike back on the road yet. Here is a pic of the part #, thanks everyone for sharing the info: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw an eBay ad for one recently (but not the pn. view) and it definitely looked like a Denso CoP. The Denso part numbers all begin with 127900, but 5370 is not one I've seen before (or measured). It looks like a CBR1000RR CoP, which is pn. 5150 (which is the same length as a 4400), but the grommet appears to be significantly wider--which would help "internal" sealing in larger valve cover openings. Here is a picture of a 5150: And here is the 5370: Now, if they only sold the grommets separately... Ciao, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely someone with a 7thGen has or will change their plugs sooner or later... and have a decent set of vernier calipers. adkfinn - The 129700-4800 sounds promising, let us know I'm in the VFROZ camp, where prices are somewhat surprising, including the not-so "plug and play" options.
