HELP !
OK, so I go out and change the oil, it is at 8100 miles, change the oil filter, spray the area around the oil filter with brake cleaner to clean it out, add the oil. \\; Check the spark plugs, dirty, black soot around them so I think I will pick up some new one tomorrow, put the plugs back in and now the bike will not start! \\; Pull the plugs out and clean them, check the gap, reinstall them and still nothing. \\; It cranks fine but acts like it has no spark or fuel? \\; Help!

RE: HELP !
Harleys plug wires can be pretty tricky. Make sure you pushed them on until you feel the snap. I know it sounds simple but you never know. Check you kill switch too

OK, so I go out and twist the spark plug wires and double check that they are tight ike Terry suggested adn they do not snap into place or anything, but IT STARTS! \\; I run it down the road and come back and shut it down, and then start it up agina and it it does start, but not like it should. \\; I will be getting some new plugs for it tomorrow for sure. \\; But WTF....I feel like a horse's a**. \\;
