CTX1300D running rough. Looking for help/ideas/ SOLVED!

So the question I will ask "was it really the spark plug or was it just that you disturbed the plug wires?" and the is another issue leaking behind the scenes. It has been awhile since I had a ST1300 but according to the parts diagram the spark plug caps are a separate item from the coils. I would make sure that the caps have a good connection to the wires. I believe the cap screws on to the plug wire. If it were me I would inspect that connection and maybe trim the wire a 1/4" and reassemble. My 2 cents

Thank you. These are good points. Will look into it.

Did the bad plug exhibit any flaws or defects ??

.Ride it, don’t mess with it. More likely to create a new problem than discover some deeply hidden cause of the original problem. It won’t let you stranded if it is just a miss fire of one cylinder.
By the way I love my CTX 1300!

None visually apparent. Jiggling the plug wire did nothing with the bad plug. Installed a new one and all worked

That is what I will do until and if the issue happens again. Agree, great bike. ST1300 too tall for me.
