I am so pissed at myself at the moment.....  :mad:

I went down to Oudtshoorn this weekend with fully loaded bike.

On the way down everything was fine.

On Saturday i started hearing a tik tik tik noise coming from the engine.... i thought ahh maybe its cold oil a bit of valve noise maybe.

On my way back to PE today the tik tik noise started getting louder and i thought oh fuck!! what can make the noise...  :eek: :eek:

50km outside PE i started losing power and was only able to go at about 120km/h full taps...  :eek:

It suddenly became clear that the tik tik noise was spark jumping at a plug connection....

I haven't opened anything yet, will look tomorrow night...  :-[

Anybody got some advice on what to look for this can't be the first time this happened?

Is that black thing over the plug the coil?

Who has a 1200GS service manual on CD that i can have or where can i download...
