    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Spark Plug Connectors

I'm a bit embarrassed to ask this, I feel like I'm missing something. But.....I replaced the spark plug caps and got new plugs. However, the connector looks different on the new plugs. They're the same kind, NGK B8ES. The new connectors don't seem to fit on to my new NGK spark plug boots. I don't want to force it. See what I mean, at the top here:

Does that metal thing on top come off? Can I unscrew it with pliers or something?

Did you get these plugs at marine store? The fat cap might unscrew (some do ) and expose the threaded thing your bike needs to fit nicely.

Nope, I got 4 from Pepboys and then 4 more (for the future) from Z1-Enterprises. They were both the same with that big cap. I'll try and unscrew that cap. Thanks!
 
Some plugs have no removeable top, but if you look at the end, you'll see the end of the screw (or not, in the case of the one-piece ones).
Offhand, I don't ever recall a B8ES with a one-piece top, though.
