Title: Check you spark plugs once in a while!
Post by: klimber on July 17, 2003, 06:36:29 AM
My bike appeared to feel a bit weak?  didn't feel right?  anyways, i sort of blew it off as bad gas because it normally runs great.  well, being bored, i decided to check the spark plug gap and low and behold...one of the spark plugs was very very loose....looser than finger tight, just sort of barely spun in there, must of vibrated loose.  well my gapping was good, but otherwise after snugging everything back up.

the bike runs perfect again!

so this is jsut a word of advice that may be forgotten from time to time,

check those bolts and all conenctions once in a while!  I was thinking about how much those mirrors vibrate so who knows what else does (everything i guess)

Thanks for the reminder.  Sometimes it's the really simple stuff that reaches out and gets you.

Glad your bike is back up to snuff!
