Animalman294 Posted May 19, 2005 Author Report Posted May 19, 2005 When you do the plug chop, do you always have to tear up the plug to do it, or is that just for a visual of what to look for? And just so I am clear, the plug should have a 2mm band around it and be dark brown, not black and not a grey color? If the color is light brown then the bike is lean, and if the insulator is all brown (not just a band) then the bike is rich? The heat is also supposed to be half way up the grounding terminal. So if it is just showing on the tip the plug is too cold and needs to be hotter, and if it is really close to the threads then the plug is too hot and needs to be cooler? Please correct me if I am wrong, because once I get all my parts on I have to rejet my bike. Quote
dajogejr Posted May 19, 2005 Report Posted May 19, 2005 Yep...you pretty much hit the nail on the head. However, you should be fine with the 8 range NGK plug, unless you alochol the bike, or dune excessively... 8 should be fine. Quote
sredish Posted May 19, 2005 Report Posted May 19, 2005 I never cut my plug. I always do a visual inspection and look at the ring and ground strap for visuals. IMO, it's a PITA and a waste to cut perfectly good plugs. I can look at a plug in just seconds and tell if it's the way I want it or not. It's easier to see what's going on with the plug if you cut when you haven't seen very many, but I just hate cutting plugs and won't do it. Quote
NEVER SATISFIED Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 I think a dial-a-jet is to change the clip position. 370357[/snapback] Noooo... 370383[/snapback] Quote
