Are those little black flecks on the plug ceramic?

That crap in airbox is normal.

I'll pick up some copper grease. Not used an anti-seize compound on plugs before. Sounds like a good idea.

Not sure what the black flecks are. They're not easy to see without the benefit of a zoom and cam pic. I'll have a look tomorrow when I'm ripping off the down pipe and see if they're bits or staining. If they're 'bits' what would they most likely be? I'm guessing nothing from below the piston.

Thanks for your help mate.

Looking at one of the spark plugs its dirtier than the rest. Do you remember which ones came from which cylinder?

Fallout · 08-01-13, 09:58 PM

The pic isn't very useful other than an overall impression. It's taken with a flash so the ones in the centre have more fidelity and the left one, which looks clean, is just slightly out of focus. I compared them all and they looked very similar. Any difference is quite marginal. I'll have another look tomorrow though as I put them all back in the same cylinders.

@Dave - That's a good thorough link. Good find.

Is anyone else expecting a thread about breaking a stud while taking off exhaust later on today?

Fallout · 09-01-13, 10:43 AM

I'm not, because I'm not doing that today. Just attached the Drift to point at the exhaust. Going out for a smoke diagnostic video session in a few minutes instead.

Oooh fancy, you mean there is a modern way to not try and give a GSXR 11 full throttle in top while peering backwards? You lot don't know you're born!!

Fallout · 09-01-13, 11:39 AM

There is a modern way, and let's just say the velcro supplied with the modern way was not sufficient to keep said modern way attached to the bike. Good job I tied it to one of the luggage bracket things as an after thought. Should have some footage of smoke trails before it falls off.

Interestingly, now I'm actually paying attention to smoke on start up .... there is a sheeeet load of it.

If it is white it's probably just water vapour which is perfectly normal
