change spark plug

[hustler]

hey S4 bros?...i was wondering..is it important to change the spark plugs before touring?..what happens if i dun change them?...

[steel_headz]

For my opinion better to change.... U r going a long distance..... Tats the reason...

[hustler]

well..its to malacca only...not that far rite?...but wat happens if i dun change them?...

Spark plugs are small items, you can actually just bring some spares just in case your spark plug burns out due to prolonged non stop operation.

 

Best is to change to those that is more suitable for long distance riding, heat is the main worry.

[hustler]

So its recommended that i change?...is the normal ones good enuff?..or should i change to the iridium ones?

[kurarensu]

recommend anot.. depends on u.. and most imptly.. hw long has ur sparkplug been used

 

normally i recommend interval of plugs change is 5000-10 000kms.. depending on plugs.. normally 5000km change.. so if urs is near.. n u're going far.. better u change it

 

and..

 

 

iridium and normal no much diff.. only diff is the price.. iridium power onli last for the first few kms.. say 500-1000km.. after that it perform just as good as the stock..

 

to me stock even better, more lasting and more power in the long term.. change one stupid iridium i can change plenty of stock.. which cost only $5/plug @ LAB.. u can even change it every 2000km for better power.. dun believe try it urself..

 

 

make sure ur bike is touring ready.. check ur coolant.. issit dirty/etc.. if yes.. flush it.. check your chain/sprockets issit wearing.. if yes.. change it.. brakepads.. if starting to go low.. change it.. make sure ur bike is touring ready.. u wont want anything happen during touring
