I never in a million years would have been able to diagnose this misfire as a bad plug. It would on and off again act like it was just putting along on one cylinder then accelerate like a rocket ship. I could barely control the ride while trying to deliver it for diagnosis and repair. I figured it had to be a coil or injector trying to fail. Just a bad plug. Have any of you had this happen to your 998?

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

It's really hard to find a problem that just comes and goes. I worked as a mechanic most of my life, anything electrical, (Coil, Coil Wire, Power to the Coil, or a Spark Plug) that works sometimes and not at other times is a royal pain. Always start with the smallest, cheapest, and easiest to find Part.

It took me awhile to find out WHAT ..998 you were referring to ( it matters ) .... You have mentioned an 08 GS in your posts .... if that is the year and it still has the orig. plug wires , then you have been very very lucky it/they lasted this long ... Can-Am's are notoriuos for plug wire failure ..... I think FREDDY is spot on ..... Mike :thumbup:
