Default Sparkplug lead cap needed

The front HT lead keeps jumping off the spark plug and it seems the little grippy bit in the top of the cap doesnt grip much anymore.

Any ideas:

a) if there is a way I can stop it hopping off the spark plug
b) if there isnt a way where can I find no suzuki HT leads. I've looked everywhere and no-one has one listed. wemoto have lots of different caps but none listed for mine.

Cheers

Colby

Feel free to shoot me for this expecially if I'm teaching grandma to suck eggs etc...

But you are pushing to down hard enough aren't you?

It takes quite a lot of force to actually get it to clip on properly and of course it's a bugger to get to.

Also you have it lined up correctly? There is an arrow on the cap to show the orientation - if you've not got it lined up properly then I'd expect that to cause fitting problems. Again this is easy to get wrong because of the limited access.

I've had much experiance of taking the plug cap off and putting it back on again - though my Fenda Extenda arrived today so I'm hoping that those experiances might become a thing of the past.

It popped off before I changed the sparkies so when I got the new spark plugs, I test fitted the plug to the lead and it didnt seem that secure.

I didnt notice any arrows though. What will the arrow on the cap line up with?

Cheers

From memory it either points up or down - Looking at the cap should tell you as the lead points to the right as you look at it from the front (ie the cable routes over\round the left hadn side of the engine as you sit on the bike).
