    Which bike?
    Short answer is yes and no, most Yamaha ignition coils have the wires molded in. It is possible to replace them with some coil modification. Not really a easy job but it is possible.

    We carry aftermarket plug wire "splicers" that allow you to replace the part of the plug wire outside of the coil.....the splicer allows you to splice the new plug wires onto a short stub of remnant wire where it exits the coil body.

    Rarely does the wire inside the coil body get damaged, but if it is, then coil surgery or new coils is the way to go.....
