[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1313188, member: 3828"] By resistor, are you talking about the little metal piece that screws on the top of the spark plug? If so, that isn't the resistor. It's just a metal adapter they give you so the plug can be used with caps that need the larger diameter. But in your post you say you dropped something (the plug?) and suspect that the gap was changed. I would be more concerned that after dropping the plug the insulator got cracked or the plug was otherwise damaged and is misfiring. Plugs are formed with a ceramic center insulator that is somewhat fragile. Probably the easiest thing to do is to just get another plug and replace the one that you dropped. Plugs are cheap. I wouldn't even bother taking the old one out to look at it without having another to put back in its place. PS - Heated grips were standard in the US starting in 2006, but only on the AE (auto-clutch) variants from 2006 thru 2008. Became standard in 2009 on all models I think. [/QUOTE]
