actually only replaced the spark plugs on the front (the easy to get to) none of the plugs showed any wear nor did the wires appear to have mis-firings.
cut one of the wires while trying to get it off the plug hence the problem with the first cyl. firing, so I bought wires but just replaced that one... The flashing SES light only appears when climbing a steep hill with the pedal floored and clears shortly after. Can it still be in the firing?
