    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.

Can anyone tell me what size timesert I would need for a sparkplug hole in my '82 Gs1100E?

Thanks
 
would a timesert be the same size as the proper helicoil? From reading other posts it seems that the proper helicoil would be m14 X 1.25. Is this correct?
Thanks
 
Just make sure to use lots of grease to catch the shavings and clean it frequently when drilling and taping for the timesert/helicoil You can also attach a small hose to a vacuum and insert it into the spark plug hole to clean the cylinder
 
According to NGK Spark Plug codes for the D8EA spark plug D=12mm thread diameter, E=19mm thread reach.
Timesert doesn't seem to have an insert for a 12mm diameter plug with this long of a reach. Does this mean I will have to get the 14mm insert and switch to a B8ES plug? (B=14mm thread diameter) If so will the B8ES plug work as well for me?
Thanks for the replies.
