Adventure 950, I have always used slightly hotter running plugs on the lower position, as otherwise they tend to oil up a bit.

In rideable terms the engine is very quiet, very smooth, so tractable and usable at all road speeds and will happily cruise at 90mph and pull top gear cleanly from 2200 revs without protest.
Sounds like a nice bike, congratulations bier

Hi Chas not a problem on mine at the moment now everything else is running right - I run standard size plugs 14mm as I had the lower head face built up before drilling the new plug face, I also think the endurolast ignition which is crank driven and programmed for twin plug advance helps, I had this checked also by a specialist after I set everything up he said the timing and advance was spot on at every point through the ignition cycle and rev range - I had different ranges of plugs but find the ones I am currently running work well. However I note your comments and have heard it mentioned before about the lower plug heat range if there is any oiling shows up then I will follow your advice. Cheeers Jake.

thanks alibaba, Thanks for that - I am happy with her would still like to HPN the chassis thought long and hard and am torn between p/dakar model and rallyesport. Need to speak to Klaus to sort out a ride on both. Jake.
