Just done my valve clearances and didn't take any notice of the routeing of the right hand ht lead when I took it apart, it's a MK2a and it seems as though it is supposed to run around the back of the fuel tank down under the battery along the swinging arm and back via the front wheel, why is it so much longer than the left and which way does it usually run?
Looks to sit way too close to the fan to me but that is how it seems to naturally run, I'm tempted to cut it down, any reason not to? It's the first time I've had the plugs out and the radiator was already off so never tried with it in situ, is that the reason for the length?
Do the leads just screw into the coils on these beasts or are they sealed in like the old jap bikes?
