hello all,
bike had a sudden loss of power the other day as i was riding to work. got about a mile down the road when i had a sudden loss of power, jerking and feeling of firing on one cylinder and smell of fuel.
I checked the code and it threw P1353. No ignition to front cylinder. So i removed the coils and checked the plugs. the rear cylinder seems ok but the front was oily. I cleaned the plug and put it back and then also swapped the coil packs over to see if it was them.
Fired her up and seemd fine. Took her for a ride around the block and had no issues so i figured it was just one of those things.
Thismorning fired her up and a mile down the road i had the same symptoms so limped her home. Checked the code and it has thrown P1353 again so i am guessing it isnt a faulty coil pack and must have something to do with the spark plug.
I am running NGK Iridium plugs and they only have about 500 miles on them. I just ordered some stock plugs and will see if that fixes the problem. My question though, is what would cause the front plug to look like this? Has the plug failed or is this the result of something more sinister?
