Water logged spark plug
Hi all
i know this is a well known problem and it happened to me last week. I got caught in a shower and i got water in my front spark plug  I have removed the lead and the spark plug an i am about to replace them but i am sure i have read on here that you can get some kind of grease to put over the plug to help the connection????? If so what is it? Is it a standard thing? Am i being dense? I am fitting my fender extender today  Thanks |

) Takes a little time to do it the first time, but once it's done you only need to do it again when you change plugs so it adds no time to the servicing. Once it's done, you can ride through rivers without missing a beat (well, I've only done that once...) or through a hundred feet of floods deep enough to get your feet wet.
