Re: spark plugs

the fancy schmansy spark plugs do work better,
but stock ones are fine, and they are like 20 bucks a set...
i replace mine all the time, cuz it feels so great having fresh plugs,
and my bike runs hella rich.

Re: spark plugs

mine runs rich too,when i start it i have to almost always wait a min or so for it to "clear out" then it revs right..but it feels like a roller coaster on idle and i can barely carry an idle wheelie without being on the gas constantly..thats why im doing the plugs

Re: spark plugs

yeah i think prettymuch any bike that you pipe and air filter will run slightly rich without a power commander,
it'll have more *****, but still be rich
but then again i've heard that a power commander interferes with a tre,
and the tre on my suzuki is what makes the throttle so smooth.

i'm not familiar with hondas, but i have thought about getting one since people rave about them so much....
