Are the OEM spark plug caps on the 1984 US RZ350 5k Ohm caps?

I checked the OEM caps and they are the resistor type. One measured 10.1 kOhms and the other measured out at 10.8 kOhms.

Mine came with non-resistor caps, when they failed I found they were harder to find than resistor type so maybe yours were changed? Then again I'm the second owner so mine could have been changed too.

One of the caps is what came with the bike and appears very to be "old" but I cannot say if it is an original cap. The other cap is an OEM Yamaha part that is the one presently on the 1984 parts fiche that I ordered a few months ago. I ordered it because the right cap the bike came with was really loose on the plug side of the connection.
