the front HT lead rubs on the frame or throttle cables as i found out when trying to figure out why my XB wouldn't start. i took a photo, and found it. getting the leads from sparkplugs uk was quicker than from the dealer

me 2. got leads from. answer is to replace the leads, and cable tie them out of the way. i didnt get genuine leads, but Magnecor ones from here airbox has to come off to do it |

Wasn't there a fix where a cable tie was put around the HT lead boot on the plug? |

Mine is the same year with 10k on it no probs. Could be a damaged lead or plug but just make sure the lead boot goes right down over the plug as well as the one to the coil. |

And don't forget the di-electric grease on the plug tip. Really helps the seal. ...but does nothing for the walrus. |

Yeah, the design of the XB means water leaks down to the front cylinder. I found that out after washing the bike and knackering the front spark plug. So - get new leads, and make sure they have a good seal. Keep your motor running when washing the tank etc too! |
