Uf21 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 holy hell. How do you know that your jetting is right if you don't know what a plug chop is? I understand that the guys who have been doing this for years can jet by feel pretty decent.....but for fucks sake they still do plug chops to ensure everything is fine! Warm your bike up on your current plugs. Then remove your old plugs and INSTALL BRAND NEW PLUGS....fire the bike up and immediately accelerate through every gear. THEN, as soon as you hit either the top of 6th (or if you feel a stutter....in your case id only run it up to top of 4th gear) squeeze in the clutch and shut off the motor....and COAST to a stop while holding the clutch. Remove your plugs and reinstall the original old ones and go back to camp. THEN YOU NEED TO CUT THE THREADS OFF THE NEW PLUGS to have a clear view to the base of the porcelain on the plug. This is where you can tell whether the bike is running lean, perfect, or rich. A milk chocolate band about 2mm tall from the base is preferred. Any whiter or grey in color indicates a lean condition and any darker than milk chocolate would be rich. Some people like me cant do plug chops because we live near the city (25kms from the city) so there is nowhere near by to do a plug chop.
