Thanks guys,

I am going to go back in the garage and check but I think 3 out of 4 have jumpy sparks.

Will be back in 5 min

I am back.

Good idea Pete, I am sure I would not have flat the battery if I did what you were suggesting :lol:

Any way 1,2,3 are jumping.

For the side stand switch, I just need to find it get some wire join the connector and stick the plug back on.
Is that right ?


Can I replace them by some NGK stuff ? or I need the suzuki stuff ?

ngk is ok Arnaud.

For the switch. I would just cut the wire a few inches away from the switch and then just join them together and tape it up. If you want to put it back as it was, just bullet connector them together again.

Ok thanks a million Pete.

I am looking on the NGK stuff, on here

and it looks like my spark are 10 diam, so I believe SDXXF would do ?
I am not sure of the impedance should it be 1 or 5 or 10 ?

My spark plug are CRE8EK I think, I have to go the misus is calling.

I just ask locally and it looks they don't store this and they won't even bother order it for me.
So I am off ebay getting it. Looks like the bike is not going to start over the weekend I guess :-/

I am loosing hope of having her on the road for the moving, she might end up on the back off the van if the bloody van can start!!!

I love moving!!
