It's a long story, but it basically backed out on it's own. Goes back 4 years.
You say it like it was YOU that found the problem....

Got tired of it's life and went for a walk. Somewhere on New Hope road.

The plug thread was fucked 4 years ago and I think it finally ate itself and shook it loose.

I'm lucky, I'll be able to find a Helicoil kit tomorrow for the thread and have it running by the afternoon.

damn Sal, I had the exact same thing happen when I F'd up my engine on my EX500 in the Mtns with Will. Rode home at high speed and heard LOUD popping...hot air blowing on my leg...no power....and finally limped it to my front door at approx 5MPH top speed....that was it's final ride...but I did find the spark plug had backed out. I didn't want to tell you something like that because I had a "Damn I shoulda thought of that" moment at the time.

You mean you wasted all that money when you could've gotten a new bike for yourself? For shame!!

I'm just glad it wasn't the Magnesium V990 head. Ugh...
