Title: iridium spark plugs - code please :)
Post by: Enceladus on 04 July 2013, 11:27:59 am: something else that been on my "to do" list for a while is change the spark plugs.
think its still on the original ones and for my own piece of mind i'm going to change them.
while i'm at it, i might as well have some that are a bit better ;)

also, is any "brand" of spark plug better than others ?
thanks :)

The seller says that the gap is 0.6mm,do i have to regap them to the yamahas specs(0,7-0,8mm).
I search the web and i saw that it is very dangerous for the iridium tip :(

I very carefully gapped mine to 0.75mm, then read about the warnings months afterwards, never had any issues at all, and that was a few years ago.
We're talking about 0.15mm, not a hammer and anvil job. :smash

Post by: darrsi on 20 August 2013, 10:07:36 am: I had a bit of time on my hands so went searching at work with a vernier until i found a washer that was exactly 0.75mm thick, then just gently pushed it into the gap.
That washer now stays in my wallet, for future use. :D
