Is the 08 Uly spark plug clearing and TPS reset proceedure in the owners manual, or the shop bible manual? (King James version)Also: do irridium plugs really provide any extended benefits ? Havent had any problems in first 200 mi but...it's a long and winding road. Thanks folks - jphish | ||

08 Thunderstorms do no require TPS resets. | ||

Not in owners manual. To clean the plugs simply hold the throttle wide open and turn the key on, hold for 4 seconds and repeat if necessary. Might want ear plugs due to backfires and whatnot. TPS reset from what I read on here was to turn the key on and cycle the throttle from none to full waiting 1 second at each extreme 3 times then turn key off. Please correct me if any of this is incorrect (I'm sure someone will). | ||

I know you are under warranty...but when I was under warranty I changed to the Iridium plugs which are much less foul prone. | ||

Its in the big manual. TPS reset is right as bikesquatch says. What is this spark plug cleaning trick? Sounds a bit harsh!  Irridium plugs help a little I think. | ||

It has been discussed in many threads before. It seems that people are expecting the de-fouling thing to perform a miracle and save fouled plugs. From what I've seen it will get the bike to run, but not like new plugs will. It appears to me more like a 'limp home mode' repair. The plugs don't cost that much and aren't that hard to change(after the first time). Why let a $10.00 set of plugs ruin riding the bike of a life time. Once cleared up from dealership and winter start ups, the thing will easily do the 10,000 mile intervals on plugs. |
