What an excellant board for info.....took my KZ1300 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?
Is a Champion RN9YC the same3 grade as a NGK BPR6ES?
