I have the same vehicle, and had exactly the same problem on #6. Tough to get that one out for some reason.
The Isuzu manual I have calls it a "spark plug wire" or "spark plug boot." I got a replacement from Advance Auto for about $10 (called Xact Ignition Boot Set, PN 20131). Be careful to get the one for #6 only. It is different length from the boots on cylinders 1-5.

Way cool! I do love my XR400. I bought it new in 1996 and have riden it nearly every weekend since!

I've never riden one, but I doubt if I'm man enough to handle an XR650. A 400's almost too heavy for me.

Good luck with your Passport.

Pick up some silicone spark plug boot stuff while you are at it. Will help keep them from sticking again.

i went and got the boot and got in installed. The dealer said it was not available separate. This forum is a life and money saver for sure!!!! The 650r is a huge powerful bike. I am 6'4" and 260 and it is still a handful but i love it. I also just got 2 days ago a new shadow 1100 spirit street bike so i have been riding it the last 2 days..again many thanks!
