Spark Plug Gap confusion - Help?

Hi All

Apologies but my Suzuki handbook says the spark plug gap is 0.6 - 0.7mm but online guides and the Haynes 0.7 - 0.8mm

Can anyone confirm the corrcet gap please:confused: (It's a K5 pointy)

Thank you!

i just do it to 0.7mm, never had a problem but all the plugs i get are pretty much bang on with the gap.

Thanks

I'd stupidly made them both 0.65 after I checked the user manual but then the guide on Bolty.Net and Haynes says 0.7mm to 0.8mm.

I wonder why they are different? Has the user manual been updated I wonder?

Re: Spark Plug Gap confusion - Help?

My user manual for my 3mth old sv650s pointy states on page 6-13 a gap of 0.7-0.8mm, and plugs be replaced every 7500miles. On back of user manual it says June, 2009 so i guess thats when it was printed.
