Mines not been in too much wet yet so not had a problem, but i have a fenda extenda on anyway. At lease it stops some of the crap being thrown up at the heads & plugs and so reduces corrosion. |

Re: Front spark plug problem in the wet and washing
Silicone sealant round the top of the plug cap has removed the problem completely on my bike.
Have not had to bop-bop about like a single lunger for about 3yr. Which is nice (especially for my neighbours.) |
