[Guest Skid]

If u don't take out tank, you may not be able to tighten your spark plug properly and you risk stripping the thread on your block.

[sgbikee80]

when u go ah boy to buy spark plug,

do u just tell them u want 4 Denso spark plug or

u need to tell them the tpye of spark plug u want?

read from forum got diff sizes of spark plug....

[Guest Dewei]

Chee bye lah Weida!! Why dun U get the spark plugs from motortiam? Well Ah Boy one also can. Since Ah Boy only got sell motorbike accessories, so the spark plugs they sell are also for motorbikes. So U need not worry,all the spark plugs size are universal for all kind of bikes. Is just the brand U need to consider. Since urs is a ver.S,and dun realli need high performance...gettin a normal spark plug will do...(NGK,Denso..etc) But I doubt if they selling genuie one esp Honda plugs. Ayai...if realli want cheap cheap plugs...and U insist go Ah Boy buy...then U got to look for Mr Lim Ah Boy (shop just opp to the hawker). U can bargain from him compare to the other ppl workin' in Ah Boy!!

Tell U this,if U are realli into the "Selection of Spark Plug" in a more technical aspect...then ask me for a book for "Spark Plug Design".

[Gixxer Lee]

Hehe u post again for this topic.

Poor thing y u always kana scold CB by him

U can go LAB tell hime u want 1 plug for RXZ, 1 for Wave, 1 for RVF and 1 for NSR SP. SInce u said all plug try to put them in ur S4 and tell us wat had happened ok?

[darrenx]

Just changed my spark plug 3 days ago....

Out of curiousity...decided to change to racing plug n happen to find 1 of the plug wet....the rest all very dry n clean....

What could be the reason?...My bike always cannot idle in the morning....

Izzit my 1 of my piston got problem?

[Ah jian_82]

Dun tink its the piston. THe reason that ur plug get wet maybe due to the fuel is to rich. Go do a servicing of carb if this is the pro.

[darrenx]

but i just service my carb & tuning about a mth ago....somemore that mechanic showed mi the electronic meter for tuning....all 4 indicator at same level before he handed the bike back to me....should be all rite mah?....But the 1 thing i found strange is that he neber touch my air knob....the 1 below my carb....i ask him n he said no need tune 1.....

does it means that mechanic cannot make it?....or i kanna cheated liao?..

[Ah jian_82]

Hmmm since u did ur service nt long ago.... That knob is not necessary one. Hmmm But cant be piston unless ur piston ring wear off but thats impossible.

 

Last time i kanna 3 wet plugs but aft doing reuning and its back to normal liao as my mech told mi my oil is 2 rich liao.

 

Hmmmm any liao jiao can help????

[Simon Soh]

it might be improper tightening technic of fresh new plugs, did u have it tighten correctly with engine cool.?

 

i have had this plm before. but after i follow steps according to manual, it all seems to be okay. i acheived 'bone-dry' plugs(threads also) without drak fouling when i replace them.

 

what i did was;

- before tightening it, make sure plug's sealing washer firmly-in position onto engine block.

- good 1/4 tighten without reversing & that's it...!

 

the reason for properly tightened plug's sealing washer could be to prevent combusion fumes from leaking & mositurises the tip & threads.

 

hope above will helps.

[darrenx]

ok...will go for a recheck n let u knows the result.....thanks bro..
