An easy way to check if its the front plug is to spit on the front downpipe. If your spit boils away then its not that, if it doesnt and the front down pipe feels cold then that cylinder isnt firing. If you have been riding in heavy rain checking for a wet front plug would bee the first thing I would do.
Is this a technical resolution? Would a mechanic check it this way! LOL

For flip's sake don't put your hand on the downpipe to see if it's hot! Unless you want to chat up the nurses in A&E when you find it's working well enough to give you first degree burns!!
