The curvy needs one for sure... but does the pointy?

Nope - rode to work in the p*ssing rain, got suitably bathed enroute, but the bike didn't miss a beat.

56 plate - btw

In fairness all I have ever done to the plugs is clean them at the last service (apx 2k ago). They looked fine and I've never had a spark/running issue, so I didn't replace 'em.

I have been thinking about a FE for the winter however - just-in-case.

I don't have a fender extender on my curvy, it's never missed a beat.
I've seen a K3 faired pointy coughing and spluttering with that issue.

Me? Like the cheerful sheep I am I simply follow northwind's advice and use a little silicone grease round the plug cap when it goes in. Job jobbed.
