Adventure 950, I have always used slightly hotter running plugs on the lower position, as otherwise they tend to oil up a bit.

In rideable terms the engine is very quiet, very smooth, so tractable and usable at all road speeds and will happily cruise at 90mph and pull top gear cleanly from 2200 revs without protest.

Sounds like a nice bike, congratulations

Hi Chas not a problem on mine at the moment now everything else is running right - I run standard size plugs 14mm as I had the lower head face built up before drilling the new plug face, I also think the endurolast ignition which is crank driven and programmed for twin plug advance helps, I had this checked also by a specialist after I set everything up he said the timing and advance was spot on at every point through the ignition cycle and rev range - I had different ranges of plugs but find the ones I am currently running work well. However I note your comments and have heard it mentioned before about the lower plug heat range if there is any oiling shows up then I will follow your advice. Cheeers Jake.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
