Picked up a couple new plugs yesterday. NGK BPR6HS Matched the thread and electrode length with the OEM junk China plug. The P stands for protruding electrode and the R stands for resistor. THe guy said it just keeps bike from setting off explosives and interferring with TV's. Seems to run a little stronger than the B7HS. Overslept this morning and had to drive the car. Ugghh!
Bought a motorcycle (aluminum, streetbike) clutch lever assembly while I was there. It's sweet! Nice adjuster on it and easy to pull. I had been using a plastic one of a old junk bike after my original broke.
I drilled three 5/16 holes in the end of my muffler end cap last night too. Seemed to make it a little easier to get and keep the motor "on the pipe". I have had **** getting this thing to do just that! It'll pull strong up until the top of the rpm, then fall on its face. Finesse the throttle a little and I can usually get it to come into power in the high rpm range. New plug and holes in the pipe seemed to help, and no I didn't do them at the SAME time! LoL! New plug, it helped a little. Later last night, drilled muffler, seemed to help a little more. BTW, I'm on the 2nd notch from top on needle. Holla!
