Plugs: clean or replace?

[tim413]

Hey Eric,

It was probably kind of early to do so, however since I'm refreshing all the fluids in the bike I figured to have a look at the plugs. I backed the plugs out to ensure they weren't too caked up with lead deposits. All 4 came out nice and easy, though they do have a nice leaded sheen, should I replace or clean these ones and use for a bit more? I didn't look/cannot remember which ones you put in, maybe you do. I probably only have around 2 hours on the bike since we last did the motor.

Thanks man!

Imo, unless you are running plugs made of unobtanium, they're cheap enough to just put new ones in. Consider it cheap insurance. Oh and make sure they are gapped properly.

Tim you need to replace! its critical on the R6. Also the RIGHT plugs!! yours is a high compression ss bike, please call your engine builder for CORRECT PLUGS :)

Posted in "Tech-Ask Ed" That should be equivalent to "...call your engine builder..." ;)

I didn't call as I didn't need an immediate answer. Anyway, I'll reach out after this weekend.

Thanks,

tim
