yoda Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 Apart from a whole host of other fuel/air ratio problems, you might be running a too hotter spark plug. Go for a cooler grade and then find out what colour it is. The higher the number, the hotter the tip.
highrider Posted September 29, 2007 Author Posted September 29, 2007 ya i just go into the store and tell them the make and model of the bike and take what they give me i tried the 10 $ plug and the 4 $ one both didn't work i'll have to find out tho thanks
