just remembered that i read an article on plugs in one of the edition of "MOTOR CYCLIST" and they said...

 

"Durability comes from new precious metals that are more resistant to electrical wear and heat breakdowns.mainstream plugs have center electrodes made from nickel alloy-good,reasonaly durable and inexpensive"

 

So as iridium is "better" than nickel thus it shld be able to last longer....

 

just my own theory..... :cheeky: :cheeky:

shoei, need help? I have a working PayPal account and maybe I can help out with any purchases.

 

Guys, my new service manual just arrived from the US. So, I'm planning to sell the copy I got with my bike. Its a photocopied version. Quite clear but not same as an original. Comes in a file. Anyone interested, just PM me a quote.

 

Thanks.

Yeah, man.. now since u riding V-twin, only need to change two plugs instead of four, might as well get better ones... moreover, the front one so ley chey to change, might as well get something that last longer...so no need change so often..

[WildCard]

sorry guys.

A bit newbie here. All this while riding my Steed V-Twin, been thinking that is using 4 plugs like an in-line 4.

Only to realize from the service manual and you guys that its using only 2 PLUGS?

Argh... major embarassment....

[WildCard]

Wow!!!!....

 

Check this put....

I've had heard of that before. But it happened to a batch of fake NGK spark plugs. Not Denso, neither iridium.

her gut is spilled all over the workshop floor...

 

Naw, just waiting for parts. Saw the damage. Real bad man. Its like half the threads on the 4th gear cog snapped off. Even Micheal was scratching his head how come the gear cog can get damaged like that. He says he's seen other engine parts wear out and get damage, like piston, con rod, etc. But extremely rare that a gear cog can get damaged, especially like mine. Fortunately, everything else is ok.

 

Hmm, since the whole engine is out, maybe can ask him to check and clean out the dirt stuffs. Oso, can ask him help install Red's pair vavle block-off plates.

hehehehehehe

what happen pal??!?

Juz a personal experience to share......did the worst mistake in the world that a person doing his bike would do manz!!!

 

i opened up my air box to clean my air filter the other day and i stuffed newspaper in the throttle body to prevent dust from entering it...and when i was done i installed everything back and took my bike out for a spin...bike was doing fine until few mins later where the throttle got quite hard to turn .....i quickly u-turn home and started wondering what i did...began staring at my air-box and juz remembered that i didny take out the newspaper from the throttle body!!!!!!!wah...

 

what an experience for a person doing his bike for the first time... :sweat:

 

So i started thinking what could have led to this...

 

1. Insufficent lightings at the area doing your bike.

2. Always check carefully before doing the next step..do not over look anything...(think its a valuable advise from Reddevil...)

3. Maybe should come out with a checklist or something to prevent such things from happening again....

 

comments or experience to share anyone?? :cheer: :cheer:

[kish_garfield]

wat do u mean trottle body?? where? well i had my hiccups but found out that TLR too has bad design interms of maintenace. its built for something else

That's the fuel pump gasket. Remember to use the blue type hor... RTV silicone... and clean the area up before applying.
