spark plugs

[Poot]

Hi all,

just about to replace my plugs, and am wondering what "hotter ' or "colder" plugs will do.

I was planning on buying some platinums (got iridium now, but too much $$, and dont think theres much difference).


Is it just changed by the gap? what would be the idea "temp" for the plugs ? I usually just set them at what is called for in my manual.

no it's changed by the length of the ceramic tip and electrode protruding into the cylinder .... I would suggest the OEM type plug and heatrange

really? well, they still seemed pretty good after the 18000 km, but halfway through winter , i kept trying to start my bike up (unsuccessfully due to a dull battery, and fouled them up.



not too sure now what to do?
