I was on my way home today when I heard a loud pop. It sounded almost like a backfire. Then my bike started to sound like a two stroke. I pulled over and try to find out where the noise was coming from a lot of air was coming from the front engine mount area. Could this be from a blown head gasket?

First make sure the spark plug is still in place.

That is what it was. It doesn't look like the threads are messed up. Now to get a plug wire.

Same thing happened to my '96 Honda Odyssey the other day. Started it up, heard a pop, car ran like crap for a while, no power, shook like crazy. Turns out a plug wire popped off when I started it.

Anyone know why this happens?
