I just put the new plugs in, now it still runs on the back cylinder. Took the plug out, pretty messed up with carbon. cleaned it off. hooked it back up to the plug wire. let it hang next to the cylinder, and turn it over a couple of times, hella spark!. so the cylinder must be really gunked up? What do i do?

Yesterday it I ran my bike after installing a new O2 and it seemed like it was running on 1 cyl. I kept on it for about 5 minutes and the remaining cyl kicked in. Don't know if it hurts the engine or not to do that. Shouldn't

Keep trying. It took me several times of cleaning the plug before I got the front cylinder firing.

WOOT! Runs great with the new plugs, got her goin. things are fantastic.. just a couple of touch ups.. make sure its all torqued to specs, and WOW! have to really get the clutch adjusted! disengages all the way out, even then still slips into spot. So, new task, almost all done, Love the low seat with the crossroads.. more of an aggressive riding position! , now just need tuned ECM and Micron.. booya!

If it happens again try iridium plugs, they have solved the problem for me.

The Crossraods are the best, change the whole bike.
