Just for kicks I put the old stock '07 tune back on my bike and swapped my chopped airbox back to the stock '07 box. While I had it all apart, I went ahead and rerouted the wiring I added for my fog lights. As I was doing the reroute, I barely brushed my finger against the front spark plug wire, and it fell off! The thing wasn't plugged in at all! The contact was corroded as hell, and the inside of the rubber sleeve was melted... obviously it had been holding water and arcing. I had no idea anything was amiss.... the thing ran great. I don't have the stock cables, I have the Magnecore ones. Anyway, just thought that was really bizarre. Luckily I was able to get everything cleaned up and reinstalled.
