Plugs

I played quite a bit with the bikes yesterday, including the Kawasaki. I think I have the throttle issues taken care of, but it's going to take a bit more tweaking. The vulcan (I have nicknamed Spock) is poorly lacking in power, and I don't know if it's something I've done or if that's just the way it's supposed to run. Of course, I'm comparing it to the Maxim which has a 700cc displacement, where the vulcan only has 500. I need to get together with someone that knows.

The plugs on the Maxim are getting me all twitterpated. Three of the plugs (from # 2, 3, and 4) were very lean... almost white. Plug #1 was covered in soot... the carbon kind. Not sure why that is, and why sometimes all the plugs are fouled. I'll keep working on it though.

Supposed to be beautiful weather today, highs in the 50's. Sounds like a good day for a ride. Of course, any day sounds like a good day for a ride. :)

I do have to buy another iridium plug to replace the one that got damaged when I tried adjusting the gap. WARNING! Don't use a gapper on those plugs. The iridium points are much too fragile. Instead, use a pair of needlenose pliers to adjust the metal overhang.
