Hi everyone,
I think I finally got my V700 running well again and not eating spark =
plugs. =20
While trying to get the bike running well I had the oppurtunity to =
research=20
other brands of spark plugs, that cross from the NGK part number. I =
thought this info=20
may be useful if at anytime you can't find NGK plugs as seems everyone =
uses.
Here are the numbers: Split Fire SF426C, Champion 813, Nipondensco 385, =
and Autolite 4252.
I could only locate the autolites and they seem to be working well, =
after another round of carb adjusting
new plugs factory preset positions, I adjusted the right side in until =
the bike started running rough then back 1/4
smoothed the running, then did the left side the same. I put about six =
miles on the bike checked the plug
color, right was just turning tan left was a little darker thus I =
adjusted in another 1/4 turn bike still seems to run smooth.
I have noticed that the exhuast smell that was predominant before is now =
gone, was stinking the garage and me up :-)
Any way I will be putting some more miles on it and keeping a good check =
on the plug color. Looks like I will be on the road
as the weather has been in the 70's here it really sucked wrenching and =
not riding.
