    I was looking to a video to change my spark plugs and you give me everythings i need thanks !
    Your bike pulls very hard damn that superchatged kit was pretty awsome ! Cain't waot to see your turbo setup hahah

    Just started video so maybe u address this …but me not a mechanic, i’ve always heard that when the FZ1 throttle is closed The ECU stops all fuel and leaning it out. Which is part of the reason why I’m considering an ECU flash, even though I don’t really want or need more power lol. I have a sputtering along w a occasional pop backfire when at or under 3k rpm with no throttle or very slight throttle…

      Shit I forgot you have all the “extra” stuff added to your bike …..but , seeing and hearing the difference after the plug change has me convinced to go ahead and change my plugs, especially since I don’t know the history of this bike, and it is doing very much the same thing your bike was at closed or almost closed throttle ,especially at 3000 RPM or less…great reminder video

    i had the same problem, when i change spark plugs nothing happens, the problem was one of the coils, after changing the coils the missing fire on low rpms was gone

    Hi, what motorcycle does the suspension extension come from? I also want to set myself but I can't find it on FZ1
    Thanks.

    When it was bogging down did it feel like you were clutching and then surge? I think mine is doing the same starting with the plugs but think I might need to swap out a coil..

    Loving people that defy physics in their analysis. Higher power settings require higher firing voltage. If a plug fires correctly at higher BMEP it cannot be responsible for a problem at cruise power. With all the "mods" on a bike like this a pandora's box of potential problems has been loaded into the software and hardware. To then decide "it's the plugs" is about the most absurd thing ever stated about a motorcycle.

    • @rhetericalpha
      @rhetericalpha  Před 4 lety

      Aaaah a keyboard warrior... sometimes I leave my hypothesis vague as to not bore potential viewers. so I leave my thoughts short but for me to say or at the very least "think" the cause was my spark plugs is very justifiable. Why? because this is not the first time spark plugs have cured these very conditions on this bike. But also let's get into the charging system of these bikes. It uses a rotor that has small magnets that creates a very weak electrical charge at low rpms and further strengthens the higher in revolution speed. Which to me would make sense the bike ran better under boost when the engine is loaded and the RPMs were high. Another factor I took into consideration was I run 98 octane fuel at all times due to the high fluctuations of weather and humidity. But also because I have a heavy throttle hand and want to keep the engine safe at 10psi of forced induction, 90°+ weather and 10.0:1 compression ratio. With low electrical output from the rotor system in low rpms and cruising, high octane which needs a stronger spark...bad plugs to me would explain it. Those plugs see all kinds of heat, high cylinder pressures and MMT which fouls plugs at a faster rate. But I love you bring software into play when nothing in the tune changed and as far as hardware goes if there was a broken part in the engine then performance would be lose indefinitely.
