KRMit Posted May 3, 2004 Report Posted May 3, 2004 I know the procedure for a WOT plug check, but have no idea what I'm supposed to be looking at on the plug. Can anyone enlighten me and possibly post a pic? I'd be very grateful! Quote
DIRTBIKEZ Posted May 3, 2004 Report Posted May 3, 2004 You see the circle in the picture, thats what you're looking for. *Image taken form BenBB's jetting FAQ Quote
KRMit Posted May 3, 2004 Author Report Posted May 3, 2004 You see the circle in the picture, thats what you're looking for. Can you see that without chopping the plug? A guy at a local shop told me to use a magnifying glass and flashlight. Quote
sredish Posted May 3, 2004 Report Posted May 3, 2004 Forget the mag. glass. Look here at the color on the strap and ceramic. That's about what you want. Although, here the plug was used so little that the outer ring is still shiny, when ran right, that will be the same color as the strap more or less. Mine is usually dark brown. Quote

Is that after one 5-10 second WOT run? Did you warm the bike up with old plugs, then toss in that one strictly for the WOT check, then take it out? Quote

I put in a new set before I warm the bike up, when it's cold. Then I go and warm the bike and then run her. Some warm with the old plugs then swap and run the WOT. I personally feel it's good to warm the plug up and color properly. Quote
KRMit Posted May 13, 2004 Author Report Posted May 13, 2004 note steps 8-10. also from BenBB. WPS? Is that a Works document? Quote
Ducman Posted May 13, 2004 Report Posted May 13, 2004 Here is a web based version of BenBB's jetting FAQ To check for the 2mm ring (plug chop method, not just reading plug color) at the base of the plug I throw in a new set of plugs and then run it up through the gears at WOT and pull 6th for several seconds, pull in the clutch and shut it down.

ledofthezep Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 run it up through the gears at WOT and pull 6th for several seconds, pull in the clutch and shut it down. By doing that, do you risk welding the clutch ball to the rod? Quote
Banchetta Posted May 15, 2004 Report Posted May 15, 2004 run it up through the gears at WOT and pull 6th for several seconds, pull in the clutch and shut it down. By doing that, do you risk welding the clutch ball to the rod? Why? Your not slipping the clutch like on take off, your only pulling the clutch in and shutting it down.... Quote
