Hi all,

OK, my black 'un seemed to labour on start-up, thought it was the condensation from when I put it back in it's ickle garage :smt012 Checked my spark plugs and they were far from perfekt :smt017

Replaced the said plugs with iridium one's, unfortunately when I pulled off the HT leads one of the metal end clips within the lead came off on the end of the plugs :smt013

Would it be best fitting new OE HT leads, or is there a better lead that can be bought for our bike somewhere in the land of the tinternet? If anyone has gone doen that route before....

Guess I am running on three plugs.... Best not ride it then as manana is going to be sunny, what a shame :smt009

you do not want to know the cost of aprilia replacements....

when you find out, sit down and try to repair it while sourcing a new one.....

so long as the plug cover slides back up the lead you should be able to repair it without any problems.
