so it pouring rain today so decided to try some more troubleshooting on my bike.

1. bike will not start at all. turns over smoothly, it is getting fuel
2. i installed an in-line spark plug tester and the bike is creating a nice strong spark (when grounded to the engine block)
3. when the in line spark tester is connected to the spark plug, it no longer shows a good spark (minimal at best)
4. spark plug bench-tests good with a multimeter. does not appear fouled and i have cleaned it

so i suppose i should replace the already new spark plug? it seems more like the actual plug is not grounding properly once it is installed. bleh i dunno
