HT Leads...

#1 Post by GregD-UK » Fri Mar 26, 2010 5:30 pm

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.....


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

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

Was going to ride down and watch the guys go crazy around there :smt003 Raining tomorrow, so may go down in van and see how they cope with the rain....
