Re: Change your sparkplugs!!
take that part numer off the plugs and go to advance instead of a cycle shop.
you will save lots. i can't remember which plugs i put in mine but they are the cheaper ngk's and they were like 1.30 and the dealer wanted close to $5.00

Re: Change your sparkplugs!!
hey... I've change my spark plugs... I'm still getting a wicked bog in high rpms... seems like the first 3 are firing but the last one sometimes does and sometimes doesn't... my gixxer did the same thing, and it was the throttle body sensor... I cleaned everything out on the honda, put new plugs on.. and its like the coils keep coming loose... I'm not sure what the deal is now...
I got another throttle body.. and it has extra tubing, that wasn't on my old one... wtf?
this is freaking annoying.

Re: Change your sparkplugs!!
so looking at the new throttle body... it has a charcoal evap system that my old on did not... but my f4i itself didn't have the vaccum system, so I hooked it up to the air vent system off the tank.
seems to be cherry so far.. guess I'll find out tomorrow when i take it out.
