Hey,
Hope you had a good easter.
Back to business! , i’ll try to answer your queries in a drink shot style, if it helps.
- Spark Plugs = Basic CR8E or Laser suggested. You have CR7E, there has never been a real need for them on our climate to be fair. Also hyos love the 8 grade spark plugs. Threads OK, engine isn’t overheating. Center Cone is brownish, mixture ok in 5th gear, what mods are on this bike ? exhaust and intake?
Black ring, suggests slightly sooty idling (rich mix) or plug isn’t best or electric system is a tiny bit held back (common on stock sparking parts of carby bikes) - Show us the compression tester ? is it a proper brand or unknown ?
- Oil Drain Plug normal, its catching flying metalic shavings by the clutch and likely general engine behavior (not much), but proper quality oil will stave off this need to have much debris. The coloured plugs on the site catch whatever is thrown at the clutch side on the oil filler cap.
And coloured plug for the bottom has a stronger magnet too and less prone to seizures or rounding off.
Its not uncommon to replace worn drain plugs eventually. its good insurance. - Take a pic of the stuck intake clamp?
- Engine bolts i sent you = Max torque is 7lbs please. They are steel but engine is aluminium. Take 1 by 1 because if you take them out all at once , gaskets will give way and oil leaks out.
- What kind of exhaust do you have that prevents you using paddock stands or show us ?
