I thought I should change my spark plugs since I had not done that since acquiring this bike. First challenge was I could not get the 18mm socket over the plug. After 10 minutes I finally figured out that these were not
18mm plugs. My standard spark plug wrench did the job and I took out
some champion plugs that actually looked OK. I put in the new correct plugs thinking "this thing will really run great now with the right plugs".
Not!! It runs like crap. I got out the carbtune hoping that would do the trick, but no adjustment was needed. Under hard throttle it does OK, but
under part throttle it surges, backfires and generally sucks. The only other
thing I did was fill the tank right after I changed plugs, but I went to the same station as always and put in seafoam also. Any educated guesses as to what is going on here?:ummm:
