Author Message   Torquemonster Posted on Sunday, September 21, 2008 - 12:42 pm:        I did post this in the KV, but im pasting here for more visibility. Whats the proper gap for Buell Pro-Series plugs in my 2000 M2? Stock gap is approx 0.038 PN#32822-01Y PLUG#HDB12P   Torquemonster Posted on Monday, September 22, 2008 - 11:19 am:        Noone knows?   Kilroy Posted on Monday, September 22, 2008 - 12:19 pm:        Pretty sure it is the same as the originals   Buellistic Posted on Monday, September 22, 2008 - 12:41 pm:        "i" adjust my plug gap at 0.030 ...   Torquemonster Posted on Monday, September 22, 2008 - 04:26 pm:        why 0.030? Does closing the gap (shortening the path of travel) hold any advantages? I know its basic mechanics...sorry. Im a dullard sometimes.   Buellistic Posted on Monday, September 22, 2008 - 05:44 pm:        Torquemonster: IMHO, rather than buy the BIG DOLLAR racing coil, spark plug/plugs, and spark plug wire/wires, "i" just use the OEM stuff that came on the bike adjusting the plug/plugs to 0.030 ... It works for me ...   Odinbueller Posted on Tuesday, September 23, 2008 - 09:16 am:        +1. Really no need for them unless you have serious ignition mods. But if you want to try them, stock gap is the way to go.   Spiderman Posted on Tuesday, September 23, 2008 - 09:53 am:        The shorter the gap the stronger the spark. I always run between 25 and 30...   Buellistic Posted on Tuesday, September 23, 2008 - 10:57 pm:        Spiderman: Like you "i" am still using 50 year old tuning "INFO"(of course "i" learned this 50 years ago) ... Glad no one believe's us so we can remain the "FASTEST" for the least amount of dollar's spent ...   Torquemonster Posted on Wednesday, September 24, 2008 - 03:23 pm:        Thanks fellas. I bought the plugs when I bought the race kit with intentions to buy a different ignition as well, but I never got around to it. I installed the plugs for shits and giggles (insomnia), knowing damn well I wouldnt really notice any big diff. The bike seemed a little more peppy when I took her out, but Im sure it was only because the plugs are fresh and the old ones arent. Ive ridden her a half dozen times since I put the plugs in and yesterday, for the first time ever, I heard a little bit of pinging when initiating 1st gear. It wasnt that hot out, I hadnt been running her very hard, and I ALWAYS run premium fuel. The gap is still between 0.038 & 39. Might that have something to do with it? Again...sorry for the lame question. Im almost embarrassed to ask it, but its better than not knowing.
