Haha, thanks Luke.

Well I put the new wires and boots on and my bike now starts as well as my friends new FI bikes.

The old wires were definitely the garbage carbon kind, and the new copper core wires make a huge difference.

I have original coils, Iridium plugs and good quality spark plug wires with good NGK boots.  I'd recommend replacing the wires/boots to anyone.  It was super easy once I figured out that I should be using the threads instead of the caps, and I wish I did it sooner.

I took the bike for a spin last night and there are still a few little things wrong, but overall I'm very happy.

As for the little things, I think my accelerator pump isn't working as well as it could be because the bike is a little slow to respond if I quickly twist the throttle.  My speedometer was also bouncing around a lot, so I'll also dig into why that is happening (I recently lubed it).
