Strange Spark Plug issue?
Tonight, I changed-out my plugs. They looked ok, not burnt at all. But, the gap was close to .030, when my S&S 124" calls for .038-.042. But, the bike has been running fine, so not too worried there. But, here is where the strange part comes-in. The front plug was fine, but when I went to remove the rear plug boot, the terminal nut came off inside the boot? After I removed the plug, I just screwed in back inside the boot, to get the nut out. Now, it takes almost 5 Full turns, to remove a terminal nut so, how did this happen? Yes, my 124" does a nice 'wobble' at idle, but can the nut really come loose, whileit's in theboot? If so, can using a little blue thread-lock on the terminal nut, be ok or will that cause any electrical issues? I just think, if I was on the bike and the nut came completely off while riding, she would start running Really bad! Never seen this problem before?
BTW, the plugs were NGK's.

RE: Strange Spark Plug issue?
Mine used to come loose on my TC 88". Hold the plug in a box wrench and take a pair of pliers and tighten the nut on top up. Mine haven't worked loose since doing this. We used to do that to the Mini sprint engine plugs when I used wrench on them.
