This has only happened once, and i hope it never happens again. I was on my '04 EX riding down the road(yeah i know, the road) and the engine decompressed, leaving me sitting on my cell hone to get my truck to me. Once i got it back home i discovered the spark plug was blown out of the head. The threads on the plug and in the head had no visible damage tha i could see. Any idea what could have caused this to happen?

they do work them selves loose sometimes. Just something routine matenatince should catch.

never had it happen on a400, but have seen it on an old polaris trail boss. not a common problems, but it can work itself loose. jsut put it back in and tighten it down, not to tight, they are easy to strip.
