plug

I took apart one my spark plug caps to check it for corosion. After unscrewing it the brass screw fell out along with an insulator and a spring and a tiny disc. And as usual they dumped out at the same time. So I have no idea where the disc goes. Any one know where the disc goes? Between the...

So I have been working on my 85 for a little bit now and got it running, it runs really rough though, so I've been constantly cleaning carbs and adjusting stuff but still nothing is working. Then yesterday when I was working on it I noticed little sparks coming off the spark plug wires jumping...

Hello all, since I bought my 93 Vmax I noticed that one of the red reserve light shows up at around 60-65 miles after full tank, no problem on the sensor because its really takes 10 litters to fill. Now that I got reed of my other problems in the bike, this is the last one remaining (at the...

Anyone know where to get a brass pressed plug that goes into the carb housing where the needle valve sits? The previous owner knocked it out while trying to rebuild the carbs and I can't see them on the parts listing. Attached a pic to see the gaping hole left behind after his handywork. :bang...

Where can I get new plug wires and boots for my 07? Anyone know part numbers or what?

Hey guys, Do these look a lean to you? I wanted to get a gauge on what to look at come next season.

Hi All, i just realized that the PO has removed the kick stand kill switch. The bike is able to be put in gear even when the side kick stand is down. I just bought a used switch from eBay and wondering where is the plug that I should plug the new switch into? Can somebody please show me a...

i WHY IS THE TORQUE OF THE OIL DRAIN BOLT SO HIGH ON THE V-MAX , ( 31 LBS. ) ? ... IT JUST SEAMS QUIT A BIT EXCESSIVE TO ME ! ...I GET SCARED EVERY TIME I TIGHTEN IT ! :confused2:

Where's the best place to get good plug wires?

What would cause me to keep fouling off a plug. I get about a week and then I get a miss and it's a fouled plug again. Bike runs super smooth with new plugs there not gas or oil fouled they look brand new. Bike is completely stock with 16,000 miles. Just started doing it a couple weeks ago...

It started dripping coolant from this plug (#13) and its drains out from spark plug drain hole. Not allot of coolant or all the time (mostly when it warms up and pressurize) :ummm::confused2: How do I go about fixing problem? Can I just pull it out and replace it with new one with all o-Rings...

read somewhere that the spark plug should penetrate 0.125 of an inch inside the combustion chamber for maximium burn, also that you can give more gap to the spark plug when you use aftermarket coils that give out more voltage :ummm:

Hi all, I've just finished rebuilding and re-racking my carbs as per the tutorials found here. Found plenty info on removing, rebuilding and syncing, but have found NO info in plugging them back into the sockets. I installed new boots with no problem after lubing with light oil. I tried for...

Im looking to order them today and have them by weeks end. Any one know where I can get them? I meaan right now. Not later. Im in a highly impatient mood today.

Correct me if im wrong..but I know I read here..somewhere..that resistance measured through plug wire to any good ground On bike should be 18.5 k ohms.? I checked mine and i get 21k on rears..and 23.3 on front two. Does this mean something in particular? Or am I whack? Thanks.

Hey guys, Yesterday, I finished up working on my 91. Changed out: valve cover gaskets, coolant, oil, oil filter, and plugs. I Changed out the plugs last summer, around this time of year. I let her warm up till the fan kicked in and took her for a little ride up and down the block.. can we...

Would loose jet block plugs make a bike seem (or actually be) really rich, especially at idle. I know I've got an exhaust leak, but this seems to smell pretty rich even for just idling. Morley Jet kit,stage 7 needles (3rd clip), stock springs, 152.5 mains, non-drilled slides, Hindle 4-1, a/f...

Hello everybody I Have changed exhaust and put morley jet kit on bike. changed mains,springs and have the clip on the third slot from blunt end if I remember. I also put new plugs in bike and gap them at 35. I have put about 800 miles on bike after all the changes pulled spark plug and here is...

Anyone have issues burning out coils if the bike sits in the rain (or you're washing the bike). I had a set of used R6 coils, and I'm down to two now, as the other two started to arc after it sat in some heavy-ish rain. Not sure if it's the water that's making them go bad or just coincidence.

Yesterday I started to replace the old cracked plug wires in hopes of resolving a mid-range roughness. I got the back two easily (and they were bad!), but after pulling the right scoop I decided to come ask for help. What do I need to pull in order to access the front of the coils so I can...
