When spark plugs go bad
Changed the spark plugs today. Man the front is a pig to change!
Still glad I did, as the front was looking very manky. So peeps make sure you look after the front cyclinder. I've smeared the plug cap grommet with some vasaline, so less crud can get in The front one is the one on the left, the other is from the rear cyclinder

Re: When spark plugs go bad
I always put a dab of copperslip on the plugs. Some people suggest not to as it may wash into the cylinder and cause increased wear, I say "There is a small chance it might, but it means the plugs wont seize and need the head off to helicoil"
