I'm surprised your going anywhere at 3 revs, try putting your fut down a little further and see what happens.

So all you changed was the spark plugs, is that right.

What spark plugs did you use?

Have you checked that you connected all the pipes around the airbox properly?

No. Get someone to find out what's up with it. You don't want to be charged 50-odd quid dealer prices for new plugs again, do you? Go to a specialist, not a main dealer, as well.

I read the first post and nearly ran it through the Google translator before I realised the question was being presented in some kind of regional English dialect.

Then to top it off the "oil anally" comment. I think I cracked a rib from laughing.
