the beast is unleashed again

splashed out on new set of iridium spark plugs only costin an extra fiver than standard set , zapped em in and she soon fired up but didnt have time to take her a good blast though will do so 2moro .
So i hope she dosent let me down again anytime soon otherwise i will be upgradin much sooner than anticipated .

How long did your old plugs last?
what did they look like when they came out?

if they are black and sooty then you are running too rich, check your choke is closing properly.

Now yer askin johny m8 lol
Erm i dont think they were black and or sooty though my mechanic had took them out and inspected them and didnt say anythin bad about them though did say he had seen this happen before with a few 400cc bikes .
Anyway once the tyruns and xmas new year is by i am gonna take the bike and get it serviced and checked over for like of runnin rich etc etc as i want to upgrade to a 600 bandit or summat bigger anyway lol .
