I just changed the spark plug on my 2000 buell blast from a stock plug to an NGK Iridium (5545 like the FAQ recommends) and the wire won't stay on. I can ride a couple hundred feet and then it backfires and dies. Should I loctite the plug to the wire? Get a new wire?

Thanks for any help

Take a pair of pliers and squeeze the contact collar closed just a tad more.
