Nice RSAF Tornado in your Avatar pic.
Perhaps a Saudi air base and apparently you have a security clearance ID on your coveralls. :cool:
Good spot!
It was taken in Riyadh at the International Airport (KKIA) where we were carrying out PDM servicing & modifications to the Saudi Tornado fleet... the Yanks were doing the same thing to the F-15's next door.

I hingk you shoul consider looking in to the video due to the amount of rust you found in the spark plugs!!
Regards.

I think this coil is way past its prime to be honest... Those metal shields will be coming off the other two that survived being removed... (Replacements on order).

The designers should of commited Hari-Kari for this cock-up... but then slack servicing / maintenance doesn't help..:mad:

Of course you have got to 'drop a bollock' whilst fighting to get these twats out....

The end of the coil broke off first and of course it went down one of the open plugholes that I had managed to remove the coil from!:(:mad::confused::rolleyes: (Plugs were still fitted)...
I had to put a blob of superglue on my fingertip to fish out of the f**kin' thing out of the plug tube...

I knew I should have sticked to Honda's & 2-Strokes......… :rolleyes:

I feel your pain Philb.
Definitely get those metal sleeves off.
I think I might have been the first on here to do it and have done stacks of miles since. No problems and the coils always come out easily now

Yup, happens around here quite often. Sometimes they're not even on a phone, they just don't look. My favorite part is when I honk my horn, they flip me off. . . . 'cuz it's my fault that they changed lanes.

I love that they just close their eyes hold their breath and slowly cut you off happens all the time. Can’t let your guard down for a second.

Plugs changed, but such a pain to get them out as ya know. Not much corrosion evident and that’s accounting for the UK weather and the bike is rode all the time whether commuting or leisure. 12,000 miles since last documented change from previous owner.

Yeah, I noticed that it had been superseded when I ordered it. Hopefully it’s a little more durable than before? Partzilla had it for about $75. I was thinking to go aftermarket but they were all a lot more expensive.

Good call on replacing the rotor. And the price is right!!
