It may be something simple and non related to the stupid plug drama missy...
Before you go throwing a ton of cash at a bike shop....
The first thing to do is run a compression check on the cylinder that you had the plug prob with ...
Get a loan of a gauge , borrow one from a shop or even go buy one ...they have some pretty cheap ones in motor car speed accessory shops...
get back to us as soon as you do it...

Yep, steve is right... do a compression check. Not just the cylinder with the plug problem, but all 4 of them. Testers are generally pretty cheap at most parts stores, then you'll have one. Better yet, bum one from a buddy. (wait, you guys use "bum" as we use the word "butt", right? )
Ok, just borrow one from a buddy. Even cheaper.
BTW, I was talking about the valve cover. Nevermind, though... check compression first...
