jeff n Posted June 27, 2015 Report Posted June 27, 2015 Just got my bike back from a shop, had my top end ported and rebuilt. The guy tells me to get it broke in(2 tanks easy riding up and down through the gears) then bring it back in to be dyno'ed and tuned. I make it to a tank and 1/2 and my plug backs out and looks like this. When you have a shop do this kind of work, is it safe to assume that they would put new plugs in? Sorry my pic file is too big or something but it is dark grey almost black, the electrode is gone and the prong is broken or burned up. I think it broke somehow and ended up in my bottom end because now my left side is knocking and smoke and heat only coming out of right side. Not sure if I'm being unreasonable but it seems to me if you take a bike in that isn't running, they tell you what you need and you do it, then something like this shouldn't have happened. Quote

special06shee Posted June 27, 2015 Report Posted June 27, 2015 Deto. Dont ride anymore. Either your running the wrong fuel, or dude set up domes wrong. How much timing you running? Quote
jeff n Posted June 27, 2015 Author Report Posted June 27, 2015 No advance that I know of. Its a 4 mil that had a spacer in it, when he did all the work he said that he ditched the spacer and had the domes milled. Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk Quote

jeff n Posted June 28, 2015 Author Report Posted June 28, 2015 But still what causes that to happen to a plug? Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk Quote
jeff n Posted June 28, 2015 Author Report Posted June 28, 2015 If it's wrong fuel or dome set up, will that also ruin the bottom end? After the plug backed out there's a little knock coming from left side bottom end. Would it be related or signs of another problem? Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk Quote
special06shee Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Yes, deto can easily wipe out crank bearings. Quote
