I run CoP from Takai and my plugs have no center electrode

IMHO taking a few extra minutes to eliminate a variable isn't a waste of time, it's a part of diagnostics.

The CoPs modification should work the same, I've I've seen it done on a lot of bikes that use separate coils. What I do know is that the OEM set-up on the Ninjette, as well as the EX500 are weak, compared to the CoPs, and you can increase the gap to better utilize the hotter spark.

I've been running the CoPs modification for this past season, and no ill effects as of yet.
