Nice idea Grog, I like it.

If you want to write up/outline the processes/checks that you have in mind (and perhaps pm it to me), then I'm happy to sort it and add any links etc to stickys so we can add it up.

Nothing to do.............all day to do it....I love retirement :lol:

I've just thought of another - iridium plugs. They are shite & only do about 10k miles before needing cleaning regularly, I'm swapping mine back to proper plugs soon to cure a whole host of slow running issues that go away for 300miles if I clean the plugs.

Great idea grog, as a new owner I'd appreciate something like this, especially with a misfiring engine and slightly erratic idle on my bike.

I never had any running issues when I had Iridium plugs fitted. They only caused me problems when I came to change them..They hadn't been touched for 25k miles and were very tight and rusted when I finally decided it was time to change them!
I'm now back on standard NGK plugs to try them.
Assumption is the mother of all fuck ups!

Hooli, iridium not your prob. they work fine for a long time. mine at 40 th ks, most cars at work with them 100th. something else is your prob.

Hooli

I'm sure it's the plugs as I got to 100k with just two sets of normal plugs. I'm going to put proper plugs back in when I get chance & once it cures the fault I'll let you know you're wrong.

If im wrong, thatll be number 4 million and something in my life. My wife would say 8 million.   :cheesy:
