[QUOTE="canyncarvr, post: 356425, member: 16552"] Gearloose: Overheating, yes. Too hot a plug, no. No evidence of a too hot plug (I looked)...but a hissing, spitting radiator. Yes, it was a hot day. Yes, the hill climb I was on was a clutch-slipping, throttle twisting thing that noone ever got to the top of. Pre-ignition or detonation..neither one was happening. My question regarded correct heat range for the BIKE..not so much the plug. From the numbers RR posted (750-1600º) and what BRush posted I can get an idea. What the kdx cooling system would do, say with an engine running a plug tip @ 1200º I don't know. Has to do with amount of air moving thru the rads, coolant makeup..all sorts of stuff. Wonder about a BPR8EG (or some other fine wire plug)?....Guess I'll look it up. oh..the '..the risk of overheating that comes with a 7 series...' THAT's the sort of information I'm looking for. If a '7' tends to run toward hot (regardless of how much less trouble it is..how much cleaner it runs than, say an 8), then an 8 may well be what to stick with. ...with jetting to suit the cooler running bike. Mac: Several of them. Some better than others. Here's one with some decent pics (plug condition in general): [url]http://www.atlanticjetsports.com/_techtalk/00000005.htm[/url] Do a search for 'spark plug color' on the web, and you'll find a number of references...some in BLACK AND WHITE! ;) Then, there's always this: Do I understand this to say that changing from 40:1 to 50:1 is 'leaning ..slightly'? uh....oops? The quote is from an expert in the field. It makes me feel better! [/QUOTE]
