Cheers Steve,good read.Seems Boxflyer has the life span of these plugs to be around the 12k mark.Maybe(hopefully) having the PowerCommander and giving the bike some welly has knackered a plug,see what turns up at the dealer.Bit strange in went in spot on,came out running shite.
Anyone running bike plugs longer than 10k can expect issues as far as I’m concerned.

Try Sparkplugs uk.
Really good service and you might even get them for tomorrow.
Quicker than having RAC take the bike back to dealer to sit there for a couple of days " until we can get it in the workshop"
As I couldn't sleep I've ordered 2 plugs from Sparkplugs UK,worth a punt and as you say,better than sitting round the dealers.Cheers

Just shows how sensitive these bikes can be to the plugs
Taking us back to the days of 2 strokes and carrying a spare plug

Indeed,just as well I never got shitty with the dealer. Can't say I was to impressed with having to get the bike back under me own steam but there you go
