Thanks Crano.

| Twice it's happened to me that I have had starting issues, changed the plugs... and then a few weeks later had to change the battery. Test the battery voltages, someone will be along soon with the correct readings, but as a guide I think it's about 12.8 from a "resting" battery, and it shouldn't lose anything over night. Should be around 13.4 with the engine running. If it drops below 12v while cranking, that's also bad news. If you are trying to start with a weak battery, it will have troubles and that will kill your new and expensive plugs in short order, too. They don't like being wet. |

I had a similar problem with mine. In the end I took the coils off, unscrewed the lead clamps and cleaned them out with a bit of WD40. They can absorb moisture over time apparently. Mine has been spot on ever since. By the way flooding a bike will not damage the plugs.
Hope this sorts it for you!
