[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 17857, member: 58"] I have had exactly the same. Rapide had R.E. decompressors when I bought. I removed them after 10,000 miles as they tended to coke up (every 2-3000 miles) due to been short reach in a long reach plug hole. You could hear a whistle when they started to leak. Plugged the holes with spare spark plugs. Had a guy jumping up and down with excitement at a rally when the bike was ticking over on two cylinders with no plug leads appearing to go to the spare plug on the front cylinder. Told him they were special plugs that ran on the wireless Bluetooth principle. Keep thinking off firing all the plugs so twin plugs per cylinder, but the bike is running great so don't really want to start playing with ignition timing / carbs etc. Cheers, Simon [/QUOTE]
