    As always try another plug, once they foul they can be a cuss & not run -even if they spark outside the cylinder.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    My old RM used t eat plugs like crazy. I found that if you ran teh proper expensive one it lasted ages!! There was a weak spark issue too (found by next owner).

    damn straight.

    my bike used to eat quite a few plugs, but it just seemed to come right?? haha yeah nothing worse then being right at the back of a forest loop and havn 2 pull ur spark plug out on the side of the trail.. but yeah, just sell ur bike, get a green one, problem solved
    My choice is what I choose to do,
    And if I'm causing no harm, it shouldn't bother you.

    The only thing worst is not having a spare spark plug with you, and getting towed 10km and roosted the WHOLE way!! that lesson learned me goood

    yeah, that sorta thing happened to me, stopped to wait for a mate about 1km into a trail ride, and the stupid thing wouldnt start again, and of course i didnt hav any tools on me, figured it would be just as easy 2 push the bike back through a few paddocks towards the pits instead of the hassel of being towed, but the worst thing was that i had to push my bike through the kiddys track, that was embarassing

    got back to dads ute, and pulled the plug out and put a new 1 in. started first kick.. now i always hav a spare and a spark plug spanner with me.
