Glorian Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Afternoon,Anyone have any tips for keeping these sealed.http://i.imgur.com/ql8E6Cm.pngThey pop off occasionally alloweing what ever to get inside to the spark plugs which is not a good thing..I bought new ones a while ago which seemed to solve it but they're back to being a pain!Please serious suggestions (Gin and hoggs! No more blue tac/duct tape) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 apart from pushing them in properly! they shouldn't just pop out! they are usually a really snug fit and also have locating points on the plug cap too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorian Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 The actual coil to plug part fits fine, no issue there.It's just the rubber seal the covers the top the pops out. I've pushed them in thoroughly but no luck.. the 2 outside ones are usually alright but the inner 2 are always open to the elements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glorian Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 You can't take mortgages more than the value of the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iangaryprice Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I have a GSX600F, it has the same sealing plugs.I've tried everything to seal them. The main problem I get is misfire i heavy rain. When I got the bike the front mudguard had been cut short making the problem worse because so much water was spraying up from the wheel on to the engine.I got a good 2nd hand mudguard and it has helped. I wanted to fit a fender extender, but I can t get one to fit my bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
