I'm having some rough starts in the wet that trigger an FI code (I'm thinking it's the plug boots because it's running rough as guts and it even stalled on me as I pulled up - definitely not a stand sensor type of cut out because I've had one of those on my old SV) anyone have some recommended plug leads - or just get NGK and I'll get a new set of plugs to match?

I'm also thinking of getting an Oil Temp Sensor as it seems to be giving me some inklings like it's not 100%, but they're out of stock every where besides the weird cheapo ones on the Bay. I've tried my usually random treasure troves and no results. So I'm just wondering what peoples thoughts are for a new Temp Sensor moving forward.

Plug leads, unscrew the caps, cut 5mm off the leads & screw them back on. Fixes it 99% of the time as the ends go mouldy & the leads come loose.

Oil temp sensor, check what it's reading resistance wise when cold. The chart in the manual gives a rough figure, the two I've known gone faulty were giving readings about 10x higher resistance than they should so the bike was massively overfueling. They were doing about 25mpg like that too, oddly enough seemed to run ok except a little rough at low revs though. I got a genuine sensor from webike japan & they're showing in stock there currently.

Old thread with the chart of readings in - from memory it's a black/white wire on the RH side of the airbox.

Sensor at Webike, using the part no in that thread - https://japan.webike.net/ps/1365042F00/#!search&p.k=1365042F00

Hardest bit about replacing it was getting the allen bolts undone for that external oil line that blocks access to it.

A good jet of WD40 in  spark plugs caps or some insulating product better for humidity......

If the spark plug wire can be replaced by unscrewing covers, it is better to put a good new wire and without electrical resistance to improve spark
