    also, if you're checking plug gap make sure to use a wire type feeler... not the blade type... thems can damage the plug.

    i'd skip the gap check altogether... haven't checked plugs in over 10 years, had 6 bikes and they all ran/run great.

    you really crack me up

    pull the fairing off and look for the 4 black wires about the size of a fat pen leading to the top of your motor. thats where they will be, hidden in the motor.

    as for type and gap use a multi electrode plug and it will come gapped

    Spark Plug question

    Dude do you want to come up here some weekend and we can go through what you want to on your bike? I can give you a few hours on a Saturday or Sunday and then if it all checks out we can go for a ride.

    As for the plugs. Drop the fairings and the should be at the front of the motor in a nice little line going across.
