Changed out petcock, easy quick, awesome.
Go to change out spark plug while I'm at it, since the tank is dry. Take everything off, and it seems to me that my spark plug cap isn't made to take the newer Iridium style....so uh, what can I do?
Searched the forum to no avail...
I think you might have been tripped up by what got me when I got new plugs.
you see, some plugs have added on little caps to the plug cap end. the end of the plug that sticks out to the air (as in, doesn't fire in the bike) should be threaded. if it isn't, there is an adapter cap thingy on there that you have to pull off.
see plug here with the thingy on it:

different plugs, but you get the idea. it is just some stupid cap thing to make you go: DOH!
