[QUOTE="BwanaDik, post: 616949, member: 13660"] Agreed. Also, when you pull the plugs, be very careful not to bang them around when you take them out. Inspect them very closely with a magnifying glass for small globules of aluminum stuck on the electrode. Back in my wrenching days, we busted a customer for holing the piston (said it was our fault, but we suspected he had put in too hot a plug) on his 125 but we didn't find any AL in the spark plug. Every other bike we'd ever seen that had holed the piston showed AL on the plugs. I would expect to find something similar when the K&N mesh went through the combustion process. You were lucky. Sometimes shit self destructs, sometimes it just flys thru. We had a 35,000 HP, 10,000RPM compressor that apparently ate the suction screen. Screen was there after start up, gone a week later when we had to take it apart for something un-related. Had to have gone thru the machine but we never saw it. On another occation, similar thing happened and we wrecked the compressor in seconds. [/QUOTE]
