[QUOTE="Porstala F9, post: 720291, member: 44905"] Hey guys. Ive had my KX 125 for about a month now. I am absolutely loving it. The only problem I have been having is the fouling of spark plugs frequently. I have probably around 3 hours of riding time on the bike and have been through about 6 or 7 plugs. I have been running BR8ES plugs which I fouled a few of them + 1 stock plug + 1 BR8EG so far which I am using now. I have thought that some of my previous plug fouling was my carelessness of revving the engine for about a minute to show it off to my friends, and one time riding without enough gas, and might have even been because I didnt warm it up enough before riding. But I have never fouled a plug while riding for more than 5 minutes. The only times I fouled plugs was when I took the bike out after a previous day of riding once without stopping the bike at all. It seems that when I stop the bike after putting in a fresh plug, the next time when I go to start it up, it fouls within 30 seconds of when I take off out of nueutral. Maybe Im really not warming it up enough if this is whats happening? It has been pretty cold around here. The cold weather and snow here has also stopped me from doing much experimenting. I went riding last weekend for about 40 minutes with a fresh tank of gas, fresh BR8EG spark plug and it was around 30 degrees Farenheit. I warmed it up for a good 6-8 minutes, or what seemd like a pretty long time. Was that long enough? I took off and rode for a good 40 minutes or so which was great (if it didnt foul while i was riding it this time, does this indicate i was riding it properly?) - I only started and stopped the bike that one time. I never started it since (its been snowing) - So what I did is I just pulled the plug out of the bike and took some pics of it. The outer ring(?) of the plug is a shiny silver, but the electrode thing is black and the inner circle thing is pretty blackish brownish. [b]http://hometown.aol.com/blinkoneatey2/index.html[/b] I posted some pics of the BR8EG spark plug after about 40 minutes of riding there. Should I consider jetting or wait until I break the bike in more, or does anyone have any further advice for me with this bike and these issues? Thank you in advance! I appriciate any replys!! :) [/QUOTE]
