Anybody know if this spark plug will be OK to use. As you can see the ground electrode has a small chip from where I was using the gap tool.

Thanks for the tip, REALLY hoping the vibration problem solution is as simple as that...
It IS very possible a cap is NOT fully down/clipped onto the plug.
If you gently remove just the caps(maybe an inch), put a little di-electric grease ON THE EDGE
of the rubber cap(where it meets the valve cover).

Nope, just the plugs*I gather you didn't do anything else to the bike, just the plugs?
Agreed, I didn't find it all that difficult to replace the plugs, but since everything is so tightly spaced in there it does require to "manhandle" the wires a bit which I hate doing so maybe next time I'll drop the radiator.BTW, I've used the single ground Iridiums (and still have a set installed) however they DO wear (gap increases).
The stock plugs when pulled, looked great and lasted longer than the iridiums.
IMO, I'd install the stock style plug as they seemed to work the best and last the longest.
I put them in the spark plug socket that comes with the OEM toolkit and simply lowered in the hole, the socket has a rubber "pinch" on the inside which keeps the plug from falling out when you insert it so it was only a matter of patience and having skinny hands [emoji1]Question, how did you get the plugs set down in the holes W/O dropping them?

Update;
Problem solved [emoji106] - removed the plugs, loosened & re-tightened the sparks and then made DAMN sure the plugs are sat all the way down when putting them back in.
Thanks for the help! [emoji106]
