Came loose while riding. Rear. What is the best way to get to it?

Thanks,
DOOM

Hi Doom

Remove your air box cover, inner air box and filter, then air box base. Remove and inspect both coil wires. If they are ok, reassemble using dielectric grease on both ends. They say a plug wire tool will help, but I always wind up using fingers. Assemble until you feel a very positive click. The grease will help remove them in the future. If you plan on keeping the bike, spring for a set of magnecore wires. They have a very positive click and they won't fall off.

Thanks, Treadmarks, I'll try all that later. I am at work and just need to get it back on to get home... Must buy grease and will order wires soon.

Got it squared for now. Thanks.
