I'd be surprised if it was a factory mistake. I wonder if GW's would have tinkered with the plugs and dislodged it then. As you say they have a positive click so are totally unlikely to dislodge in normal or extreme use IMO.
you are right spade connectors into housings make a distinctive click. Unless the had the tank up on the first service i doubt it as it only involves oil and filter. Both reachable by removing the LHS fairing.

I had noticed it since new so i still reckon it was a factory fault, the spade not being all the way in the housing.

I am just glad i now have lots and lots of progressive power all through the rev range.

a different bike altogether.

and yes its intime for NW3.5

fair play to the guy for spotting that one a dealers would probably be searching for that one forever, just goes to show you on modern bikes it could be absolutely anything. Bet you breathed a sign of relief.

That's what I call a result bud. Nice one... Might just take me gixer there for a dyno run... just curious I guess.

As you say though, it looks like an assembly fault.
