I got the wiring done on the bike,but it's shooting sparks everywhere. Wires and boots are both leaking. The wires on the bike now are solid core wires. I have tons of automotive suppression core wire. Can I use that and just not run resistor plugs? Or should I keep the resistor plugs? Oooor is suppression core wire useable in the first place?

Help please, all this 3 ohms, 5 ohms, resistor plug ,resistor cap......etc stuff on these bikes is nuts. What happened in Japan in 1969? Seems they went nutz

Also, I keep seeing people on here testing the rings on their rotor. I have never fooled with the charging system on my other bike since it works fine,but decided to test the system on the chopper. I saw nothing in the FSM about rings on a rotor. It had info about the stator coil and the field coil,which checked out fine,but nothing about testing the rotor. Isn't the rotor just a big hunk of steel? I could see where it is a three different pieces made together,but I never saw any type of anything to test. I'm probably wrong. Correct me please
