Just a note to y'all-
NGK plugs seem to be changing their numbers around...I went to the auto
parts store to get a new pair of BP6ES, and they couldn't find them. The
new stock number is 7333. Why they print 7333 on the box and still have
BP6ES on the plug is beyond me.

I finally have a good idle with choke and after a good long warm up a good idle with no choke. I fired her up and ran up the street and the bike felt like it was running good but I didn't have enough gas to go very far. I feel she is running solid enough now to go for a good ride. I ordered a new oil pan gasket and Speedo cable yesterday. Once all that is done and the registration I am hitting the back roads. I finally got the wife to buy off on getting me a new bike, but the deal is once the house is sold and we get some debt paid off, probably the end of this year or first of next. I think it is going to be the V-Star 1100 in black, nice classic look easy to find service in this area and in Europe. I have to agree on the price of the Indians they are sharp but I don't think I'll ever pay that much for a bike. Once I get the new ride I can really restore my V700 the way it should be done. After that I am going to look for a 850 police to restore. I have been wrenching on my Jeep, damn water pump went out on it yesterday. I had to tear half of the motor apart just to get to the water pump. I have to put it back together tommorrow. Wish I could have gone to the car show with you, the shows around here suck, really small. I guess I'd take a Bugatti if I had too. well stay warm, talk to you later.

I'll be interested in hearing how the run goes. By the way...what type plugs were in there originally? I wouldn't hesitate to return the plugs that were causing the popping and get a new set. I don't think there is any reason why you can't go with what is recommended in the manual. Up here in the snow infested north our groundhog(s) predicted an early spring. I think yours predicted 6 more weeks of winter. I'll take our predictions over yours....but with all this snow I find it hard to believe we will ever see winter again. You are so lucky that you can get out for a ride. I can hardly wait to start my bikes for the first time this spring. There's something about hearing that sound for the first time. I was at the Montreal auto show today and I saw the new Indian motorcycle. Not a bad looking machine but all things being equal ($$ wise) I wouldn't trade the Ambo. No way! However I would have traded it for was a Bugatti car they had on display. Value? $5million USD. Beautiful car. OK....Let us know how the run went.....Ian -----Original Message----- From: Richard Cunningham <cunn-@cyou.com> To: Loopfram-@topica.com <Loopfram-@topica.com> Date: February 2, 2001 7:45 PM Subject: Re: V700 TEch Question? Well Ian, The new plugs I put in were the NGK BP6ES that fouled out. I now have the ones back in it that were in it when I drug the bike out of storage, no poping running like it should. I ordered a speedo cable and oil pan gasket from MG and asked them about the pressure as well, bottom line is it is normal because the down stroke moves as much air inside as in the combustion chamber. Hope I explained that understandably. Any how I am going to proced to register the bike and give her a good 20 or 30 mile test run with a friend who just bought a 78 Gold Wing LTD. That should let me know for sure how the bike is running eh. See Ya, Rick 67 V700 ------------------------------------------------------------ <*><*> Totally FREE software.
