Re: spark plugs
I have tried to pursue the performance issue on this bike other than ripping the motor apart i have no idea what could be wrong with it. clean carburetor, tank, air filter, bike, new tires (properly balanced, and inflated), 87 octane with the star tron enzyme treatment from Marathon fuels(which I have never had a problem out of) chain is properly adjusted new brakes on the front and properly adjusted rear brakes, new spark plug, all new turn signal bulbs and brake light bulbs, saddlebags and a 210 lbs. Rider 16t/41 rear and i ride at 55 in 5th with consistent smooth take offs and mostly rural highway driving. Stock exhaust, stock jets, stock seats, no windshield, but the chrome trim i added to the tank and fenders make it go faster... lol runs right no choke after 5 minutes or so. I hit reserve on my bike at 152 miles on average with 3.0 gallons of fuel to add.
