So today I decided to see what my bike would look like without farings, and too put on a mini grill. When taking off one of them, I see rust or some brownish looking crap under neath the spark plug.


Looks like this:

It's not bad. It's simply the fact that it's a steel plug, in a steel insert in the aluminum head. (In other words... it rusts.) Try to clean most of it off with the plug in the motor as to not get any dust/debris from sanding/scraping into the chamber.

Thanks. It kinda sucks because I just bought new spark plugs off line. Oh well, nothing like new spark plugs

Why offline? You can pick those things up... well, anywhere! Lol.

Dan

You can? They don't have them at my local auto zone/ advanceautoparts.

You'd have to go to a motorport/boat shop to get them. Any local dealer will have them in stock.

Dan

if a place doesnt have them in stock they can usually order them. i used to work at partsource.
