Hi guys,
I know I don't post here often, but with this little doozie of a problem I thought I would.
On Friday after work started up the bike, ran fine although a little irratic for about 15 seconds and then dropped to one cylinder - I knew that one of the plugs/coils had probably failed. Rode very noisily/slowly home. After getting down to the coils/plugs, the first cylinder coil/plugs 1 & 2 were okay (that was the cylinder that got me home!) but the second cylinder was bad, got out coil/plug 4 but it was rusted - plug below is from plug 4. Coil/Plug 3 is done, i've never seen a coil so rusted in - basically in my efforts to get that bad boy out of there its totally snapped off, you can see that below.
I'm really in an iffy spot now, there are literally only two options left. My first option and plan is to take the cylinder head off the engine and therefore expose more of the knackered coil to get it out, will have to be a little careful with this one as there is a potential for me to get lots of rust shit down in the engine. The second is to somehow drill parts of the coil out - but with limited access that could be tricky/risky.
Anyway, that was my weekend - I'm sort of confident that the head off tactic will work but I might be eating my words soon.........
