  8. Omg its failed me today was going to Matlock for a chill cruise and its started popping img missing on the front cylinder going to change the plugs any idea of what plugs to fit
     
  9. Coils are known for breaking down on the front cylinder of these bikes. Check for water first, it can collect and cause shorting issues.
    I have fitted Iridium plugs to my 999. They allegedly last for tens of thousands of miles without attention and give a fatter spark than conventional plugs because they can and do use a larger plug gap.
     
  10. Thank you very much can you remember what code off plug and gapping size I've took coil off and wd 49 all the connections it seems to be ok but not put it under load yet

  14. NGK CR9 EIX
    They come preset to a gap that is larger than standard for conventional plugs and I stuck with that. Some people do use an even larger gap though.
    I do have to warn you though that there is a well documented problem with using NGK plugs in Testastretta engines.
    The plugs sit at the bottom of a long, tapered aperture and it's the taper that is the problem because NGK plugs have the hex flats that the plug spanner engages on closer to the tip of the plug than oem Champion plugs do. This means that the spanner fouls the taper before it gets far enough down to tighten or loosen the plug.
    To overcome this you need a very slim-wall plug spanner or do what I did and file down the standard supply Ducati tool kit plug spanner.
