This is just a warning to everyone who changed their spark-plugs recently.
I got my bike back from the mechanic yesterday.
About 2500 km after I changed my plugs with iridium plugs, I drove to my work and after 20 km of regular driving, the spark-cable from the 2nd cylinder pop-ed out. I tried to put it on again but it kept popping out.
The mechanic said that the threads from the spark-hole on the cylinder head got stripped.The reason was that the sparks were not sufficiently tightened.
After a week and 300 euros poorer, I got my bike back, fixed.
Check your plugs, tighten 'em down according to specs.
FYI
