Spark plug cap
on: March 23, 2024, 05:00:45 pm
Just an observation. I changed the Bosch spark plug to an Iridium NGK and had to raise the back of the petrol tank to get the cap off. A bit of a pain to do by the roadside if you had to! Just a quirk of my bike or are they all like that?

  • Two roads in a wood, I took the one less traveled.

Mine is the same and I did wonder about it, daft design. Maybe a different cap is in order.

Whilst changing a plug these days is rare it's definitely a strange design. There are plenty of straight caps available so it's an easy change providing the HT lead is easily removable from the coil. A future mod for me but I'm sure it's been done before.
