Thanks ,

Bike has Termi's on there and K&N panel Filter(OE airbox) for a few years now, she had a rear puncture so the rear wheel was off but torqued back up to spec and axel markers have not moved

Spark plugs are March 2018 NGK DCR8EIX (3606) - Iridium IX Spark Plug

Checked
  • I Checked grounds, sanded , put some conductive paste on there ( nothing to cause concern)
  • Coils all look ok / spade connectors ( I will check the resistance tomorrow)
  • Spark Plugs are not loose, but overfueling (I suspect from the Termi's), I clean them but no difference

To Check
  • Cylinder Head studs
  • Belts (Renewed Feb 2019 Belts by Ducati)
  • Rule out the chain , I can rev at idle if no clapping sound , chain is suspect (DID chain/ sprockets has little mileage and is visibly in good order) but wheel was off
  • I will order new spark plugs

Questions
  1. Are NGK DCR8EIX (3606) - Iridium IX Spark Plug correct plug to use? What gap do you run?
  2. Cylinder Head studs , what am I looking for to indicate it is broke? As far as I remember the Ducati mechanic said my bike had the stronger stud
  3. Issue not having the earth covered?
