There is a sparkplug on each side of the cylinder head.

The 2010 evo sp only has one plug per cylinder. The older sp has 2.

Yes, he's sure. The 2010 is no longer a dual spark engine. If you look at
photos of the right side of an 08-09 model year Hypermotard, you will see
a spark plug wire protruding from the timing belt cover, while on the EVO
this is clearly missing.

Owners manuals are pretty much a joke, DO NOT read the Marshocking section and believe it!!

...I thought that was a multi link variable vein turbo with self filling halogen fluid for cooling. ... looks like I was wrong

No, you were partially right.
That was the LEFT SIDE multi link variable vein turbo with self filling halogen fluid for cooling.
The right side multi link variable vein turbo with self filling halogen fluid for cooling is located in the V between cyclinders 5 and 7, near the Power Band.

PS. Good to have you back Monsta.
