What an excellant board for info.....took mine for her first real run out ( besides the motorway home from Leeds to Wirral ) and she ran OK'ish...when I got back, I felt no.5 exhaust and it was cooler than the others, hot but still cooler !! I also noticed a far bit of smoke when I started her up.
Anyways......took the spark plug out to see if sooted up etc etc and noticed it was a Champion RN9YC ( I think I used them in my old minis in the 70's !! )
So, off to the bike shop tomorrow for some NGK BPR6ES ( mileage 35,000 miles ) as I assume the Champion RN9YC is totally far to cool than the NGK BPR6ES for a KZ1300.
Bike doesn't seem to be using much oil so assuming it is the cooler plugs not burning the excess oil away?
