fyi my daughter in law bought the ngk iridium racing plug for her buell blast with high hopes of cheap and easy horsepower gains. she brought her blast to me to install new levers,dirtbike bars,new clutch cable and some other minor mods including ngk plug. after taking it off the lift and firing it up my intention was to run it up the street to check clutch adjustment. let out clutch putting bike in load mode it dies thinking a fluke I repeat a number of times with same result,scratch head and think to self bike ran great before, what is dif? plug? no way,36.00 plug crap/ NO WAY! but to follow my simple things first rule I put old plug back in.........surprise buell back to running great! I call b.s.
Could just be a bad plug, seen it happen before.
still bs they cant test a 36 dollar plug before they place it in the plastic container it comes in,(prob some of the cost) just sayin lol, wonder if Japanese plug is made in china?
$36?!? What?!
could have been dropped at the part store maybe you jacked it up putting it in or maybe its just a bad plug.
**** happens
What how where and why 36 dollars?
Something certainly doesn't sound right. I really wonder if it's the plug itself. A plug either sparks or it doesn't. A spark is also a spark, at idle or at WOT. Perhaps the friction point changed drastically when you installed the new cable & lever causing the stall until you got used to it???.
Not trying to imply you don't know what you're doing, I just find it hard to believe that a plug which works fine at idle is causing the stall.
Is the new plug gapped?
put plug in cable and touch to case, fire motor. Spark?
It sounds like a bad kickstand switch. Unplug the kickstand switch and jumper the wires to bypass it; or clip them and twist them together.
Check the top of the plug to ensure the screw-on-tip is tight.
NGK Iridium is $36? I call bull**** on THAT.
The Denso Iridium Racing is a $35 plug.
That too.Could just be a bad plug, seen it happen before.
Wrong. A weak spark may be strong enough for a small mixture at idle but not strong enough for a WOT mixture.A spark is also a spark, at idle or at WOT.
NEVER adjust the gap on a Denso Iridium Racing, you'll damage the anode.Is the new plug gapped?
Is it possible you didn't have the plug wire seated all the way when you installed the race plug?
