Guess what my friend?
I do not understand why but, I changed the plug and VIOLA!!! Got my monster back!!!
And just to ensure it was the plug, I put the old plug back and it ran like crap again.
Now, can anybody here explain to me what the heck happened?
This was the original plug the bike came with and the bike just turned 2000 miles last weekend so, “theoretically” the plug is new, correct?
I am a logical person; I am not a "just because person". Things happened for a reason there is always a cause and effects. Why or what was the cause for the plug to fail?
Attached is a picture of the old plug and the new plug. The gap in both plus was the same, it looks different because of the angle of the photo.
Thanks ”old man”
, you were correct
