good info guys. just yesterday while chasing a engine cutting out problem I looked at the coil and noticed where the lead comes out of the coil theres no rubber protector between the coil and lead. maybe its missing or the xt just doesnt have one there. Ill look through my bits and pieces and see if I have a spare rubber and fit it along with a heap of silicon just in case. Its rainy season here in asia and anticipate some wet riding so prevention is better than cure! (just have to get the bike going first!!!!)...
