Intermittent Firing on Single Cylinder

think i finally got my griso to run well after 4 months of ownership, apart from a broken pin on ecu, cleared all the water out of right coil terminals and sealed everthing electrical(esp. speed sensor) with windscreen sealant. will also create a better rain guard infront of ecu and block rain from horn surround area. Runs totally changed now smoother at low speed, far better acceleration, I have really had to sweat for this marriage
 
I guess what confuses me is the cytocycle picture. Once the elbow part is removed there is a male end on the oem lead. Does this unscrew? Or does it have to be cut? If it unscrews out of the lead i imagine the NGK will just screw in where the old one was. Simple as that or am I missing something. Just want to have everything plotted out mentally before I do something that doesn't need to be done. Thanks for the help.

I just cut the end off the factory cable and screwed it into the plug.. it was actually pretty solid after doing that.
 
i did this yesterday. Cut the elbow off and screwed in new caps. Ran great. Next question is how well do these caps come off. Do I pull on the leads or get some sort of tweezer device next time I need to pull the spark plug? I'm thinking about getting that set of ngk to replace everything at next valve adjust.
 
Don't pull on the wires to remove. The factory released an "official bulletin" showing how to push them up through the drain hole in the head with a screw driver or eq. Some have even put a string or zip-tie on the cap to remove.
I stock the plug cap for anyone in a pinch, contact me direct e-mail; Todd at GuzziTech.com
 
OK, can anyone update us on this? Looks like the SB05E cap at about $3 each is the way to go. The X4K wire/cap set looks good but seems hard to get and may have some other issues. Anyone get/have the X4K sets?
 
You dont have to stupidly yank on the wires to have problems with these. Mine have gone out twice on the NTX and the wires have not beeen pulled. Ny-ties were fastened to the boot rubbers.
 
David, if you are going to use SB05E caps on your Stelvio you will probably need to replace the LH HT lead as well. The stock leads are usually a tiny bit too short to use with the NGK caps. Buy a couple of feet of copper core HT lead and just cut a new one an inch or two longer. Excess can be tucked up under the 'Wing'.
