plugs

I had a few different mechanics look at my bike, (and posted several questions on here) but nobody could figure out exactly what was going on. I finally took it to M Tech in Bend, Oregon and Matt spent a long time looking into it. He built a Honda 1000 engine that earned a land speed record...

I have a 1997 VMax that is fouling the #1 LH FWD and #2 LH Rear spark plugs. The bike is new to me so I do not know the history of the maintenance. Is the coil the same for both the LH cylinders?

Anyone know if Depot or Lowes has these?

Prior to doing the "Shotgun", I thought I would check the plug condition. The first photo shows the rear plugs, the next the fronts. You will notice that all the porcelain insulators are on the whitish side, only the right rear has signs of tan colouration. As well, both r.h.s. plugs have a...

Just trying to get an idea on this

I don't see it coming any time soon but though this was interesting. http://www.osa.org/About_Osa/Newsroom/News_Releases/Releases/04.2011/LaserSparksRevolution.aspx

Hi guys, I have been searching the "net" for 2 hours trying to find some plug leads for my 88-VMax, does anyone know a website I can go to and also what is a good brand? Also I have a small crack in 3 of the coils, I put a sealant on the 2 rear ones already will this be ok? The bike gets...

The other day I had the air box off to try and get the carbs down in the boots better. One boot is always wet. After a bit I got it a little better but the carbs still don't want to sit down well. If I get 3 in well and try to get the 4th, the opposite corner pops out. After messing with it I...

Was wondering if you guys recommend the stock plugs and wires, or is there something better? Do stock wires come with everything "boot caps" ect??? Also is it would putting an aftermarket ignition "dyna" in?

This is for the first generation V Max (prior to 2008?). Advanced Auto currently stocks the NGK DPR8EA-9 plugs for $1.99 ea. Thats what my 2001 VMax required. NAPA had the 7mm metal core plug wire in bulk for 39 cents a foot. Roughly $10 total! For the novice (like me!), the rubber/plastic...

So I swapped out the NGK Iridium's for some base line NGK's and I get alot more soot on my exhaust than before and seems to have lost a little go. should I go back to the Iridium or stay basic.:bang head: I have put over 2k miles on the bike since the swap just not felling the love any more. I...

So since I am doing other thing the thought came to mind... spark plugs. Right now NGK's are on the VMAX, they've run good as far as I could tell and have no issue, but the plugs will need to be replaced within a time frame, so I'll plan ahead and get them now so I dont need to wait when I...

Was curious if anyone has used these? I've been having a few issues with the bike cranking up in the mornings. Was looking at buying these plugs to increase horsepower and help with cranking power. Are spark plugs hard to put in? wires are 117 and spark plugs are 40 for 4. It all looked pretty...

I just placed an order for 200 of the little buggers. Let me know if your needing any. Price will be just for shipping.

Will i see any difference? Has anybody used them on a v-max?

what spark plugs are the best for the max, i pulled em out have denso they look fine bike runs great

Has anyone tried to run the new E-3 spark plugs in thier Max? If so can you give an opinion. Sean maybe?:confused2:

I know it sounds silly but here is what I noticed. When the right rear is not plug, the bike won't start or keep running. When the other caps are off even all of the them except the right rear one, it looks like no effect. the bike starts and run. I have sparks on the four of them...

I drilled out the plugs over the a/f screws finally and one of the screws is REALLY stripped, to the point of there being two little rounded triangles instead of a thin line for a standard driver. It will not move at all! I fear my only option is to drill it out which I REALLY am not wanting to...

Is it OK to run non-resistor plugs in the Vmax? DP vs. DPR Thanks, John
