My questions refer to the protection against water ingress from the front wheel...the bike was bought secondhand 2018 ZE model 6000 miles from new.
I've ridden the bike a day after being on rainy roads and it cut out twice the following day, my local Yamaha dealer pointed the finger firmly at the coils/spark plugs. I have an extended warranty, so hopefully they'll take up the baton to carry out the work, if not, I'll do it myself.
1. Where EXACTLY should the dialectric grease go when replacing plugs and coils, in the case that the insurance don't do the work? (I am planning to fit NGK titanium, unless you say why I shouldn't).
2. What detrimental effect (if any at all) does putting a plate in front of the affected area with regard to cooling air, to prevent water hitting coil/plugs area? Some have mentioned an old license plate.
3. Who does a decent deflector that could be added to the bottom of the front fender (mudguard)? I'm in the UK, so european places only please.
TIA
