i ve been wearing these one season and love them, Alpinestars Net Air Boots. they do not flow like pure mesh, but flow a lot of air. when your feet are wet it really cools them down. bought my at moto liberty here in dallas tx.

a few weeks ago i was injured at work, which left me with a whole lot time on my hands at home. while i was no condition to work on my bike, there was no one to protected me from myself. the Throttlemeister and Küryakyn switchblades were no problem. the air-filter on the ae was a bit difficult...

i pull one plug and it is clean and dry. i tried to do the diAG #30: if i am doing it correctly the top set of # were 00 the down set 30. turn on/off & back, the warning light flash for a few seconds but i could not hear the plugs fire. i pulled one of the plug caps and could not see how...

thanks for the vote of confidence. yes the plug caps are on nice and tight.

thanks to all. yes the motor is turning. as far as the caps are concerned, i pull on the plugs but they were in tight so it is possible i pull out the wires. after i lub the plugs i cleaned them with a q-tip and alcohol. it had been three days since i fired her up after changing the oils, so...

clean up and reinstalled new plugs. have not started it up because i am one plug short. i'll hit yamaha for a new plug tomorrow. p.s. when i got everything out i was able to put the plug back together and i am pretty sure that it is everything and that nothing fell in. maybe tomorrow i'll...

thanks to everybody. i went over to motopia in Dallas and talk to randy, a great guy who has change my tires, he showed me the size backoff bit and gave me the once thru on how not to fu#k it up again. almost the same story as "dude you really broke your spark pug" that joe2lmaker posted. i...

if i can remove the pug how will i know if the threads are ok or not? i do not want to damage the enigne any further.

thanks

the only part of the spark pug left in are the threads. that were it broke off. is this easy out used for this? or am i in major trouble?

thanks for all the replies. i could not sleep at all last night. i have changed the spark pugs in every car and bike i have ever owned, but this is the first time i have used a torque wrench. i removed the old pug. then put in the new and torqued it down. if i was not using the torque...

i finally reach the enigne and started to replace the spark pugs. when i started tighting the first one with my torque wrench to 9# i striped it and then broke it off trying to remove it. i know i wont sleep to night. i have never screw up anything this bad. is there any thing that can be done.
