Thanx Jodydid

I need to understand why it happened. At the moment I'm thinking pre-ignition causing the failure, maybe iffy coils (but why only the front has failed) and why this funny half glowing side stand light.

Is it the PGMIII that is failing, just the coils, a duff plug, ??? I dont have zillions to keep throwing at the bike as I have spent way too much on it already ;-( And to think the Aprilia has yet to miss a beat and has had probably less TLC and more abuse !!

Any help to get the bike reliable would make an old man happy
