Hi Guys,
Just a little issue I'm wondering if anyone has seen before... I recently replaced the front spark plug cap as I thought the old one was dead. Turns out this didn't cure my issue and now the new one won't stay on the spark plug - the bike has been running fine since I changed it a couple of weeks ago but then this morning started intermittently running on one cylinder. So i checked the cap and found this one pops on and then really easily back off again no matter how hard I push it on. The cap was bought from Robinson/s Foundry and I believe these are OEM? The old cap was really tight and difficult to pop off.The only posts I have found around this issue suggest the spark plugs are incorrect but as I didn't change the plugs at the same time I don't think the problem lies there. Has anyone seen this issue before? |

Check the plug, it may have an extra metal piece on it that unscrews (Bit that goes inside the cap) also looks like it shouldnt come off but it does.
I know you said you never changed plugs but have a look, it might have been ok with the old cap as it was old and could have been a larger diameter than intended. |

Just seen I forgot to reply to this, just had to adjust the seals a bit on the new cap to get it to fit properly. Simples!
