Spark plugs...

[jaymel]

Will replacing the spark plugs increase power output or is it just a hype?

What about if I replaced the spark plugs and wires with aftermarket performance ones?


Thanks,
Jaymel

Only way it will increase performance is if the existing stuff is in poor condition.

Standard plugs seem to be best ---- don't waste your $ on fancy stuff that wont help unless the old plugs are really bad.

A different or modified seat will maky you happy if your in the saddle for more than 30 min.

I replaced my spark plugs last week. Have a 2005 with 9,800 miles, the previous owner did not remember ever changing. It cost less than $8. I could tell a difference after changing. Maybe it is psychological, but seems it has more pep. Anyway, it is just something you do after getting this kind of a spark plug report after buying a used bike.

boy you have asked the wrong crowd. here's some "entry-level" ideas. i'm sure the guys'll start chirping in. if there's anything more to love other than riding a max, it's feeding the mod monkey.

MODS? ( I'm awakened from my mid-monday-morning daze when I hear the magical word!) Somebody NEEDS a MOD LIST??? Ralphy from the Christmas Story would be proud of the speed and voracity with which I can answer this one!

Better Brakes- you have a '98 so a nice upgrade is the R6/ R1 calipers and EBC HH pads and SS lines.
Better Suspension- Progressive shocks, Race Tech or Progressive springs, RT Gold Emulators or Ricor Intimanator, and there is always going full bore into a late model R1 style USD fork setup.
Better Wheels- Kosman, RMS, Cycle One-off Wheel conversions or here to you can go full bore with a set of Sean's Special Carrozzeria lightweight wheels.
Better Ergonomics- Custom seat like Morleys Muscle, Maxgasser, RMS, Corbin. Handlebars, cruise controls, grips, windshields, mirrors, highway bars and footpegs.
Better gauges- Digital speedometers, shift lights, oil pressure, fuel gauge and tachometers.
Better lighting- Hid headlight, LED turn signals, LED taillight and guage cluster LEDs in different colors.
Better Accessories- Sliders/ engine bars, luggage rack, sissy bar, bar ends, billet bling and belly pan.
I hit a lot of the more popular mods but didn't really touch a lot of the mods that you can do to improve the electrical system, starting system, performance, looks (paint/ chrome/ powdercoating/ anodizing) and machine work/ welding!
Your Mod Monkey awaits you with open arms and one hand in your pocket!

I have been reading over NaughtyG's COP mod which seemed like a pretty doable mod and since my last VMax issue narrowed down to fire/spark issue, I have decided to do this. I PM'ed G but wanted to ask openly to see if anyone can suggest which COP would work the best for an 06 model and also where to get them?

PS. I also just got my seat done by Sean Morley, it looks sweet. I can't wait to get this bike running perfect so I can enjoy the seat!
