Well that explains why it was running lumpy.
If bike is left outside on the side stand water sits around the top of plug 3.


Are the others ok?  If so, just replace 3 and make sure it's tightened to the correct torque. That water has got in from the top, not up from the engine!!

Plug 3? Are you sure it wasn't a number 2! Glad you got to the 'bottom' of the problem and solved it Bretty

Ha ha! Just got it myself, must admit it was the turd time I read it not the second  :lol


I was thinking the same as Darrsi wondering about how much shit had fallen down the plug hole into the pot, some for sure looking at the crap the is all clagged up on the electrode.
Blocked drain holes for sure.


I have an air bed type adapter that fits into the tyre air line at my local garage it's great for the job of blowing out plug wells, you can also do it by over inflating your back tyre and using a screw on mountain bike tyre connector with a piece of tube pushed over the pump end and blast them out with the rear tyre air.
PS: Don't forget to re-inflate your rear tyre when done.
