ask ko lang po if natry nyu na mag side gap ng sparkplug nyo? ..side gap user here.. share ko lang to..http://motorcyclephilippines.com/forums/showthread.php?t=216989&page=9

As you can see the ground electrode is blocking the fuel expansion, you want it to hit the freshly entered fuel, not the exhaust side where some exhaust gases are still left over. Plus side gaping allows for the flame front to go down, thus helping it expand faster.

Tools

  • Sharpie
  • Dremel or something to cut metal with precisely
  • Spark Plug Gaping Tool


1. Remove your spark plugs from the engine or if they are brand new take them out.

2. Take a sharpie and mark the amount that you want to cut off.

3. Properly bolt down the spark plug so that you don't have to hold it by hand when you use the dremel.

4. Now Dremel sells cutting bits, you will need one of those, they cut through the ground electrode like butter


5.All done with the cutting

how's the performance of your engine compared to orig sp?
sir,i used my original sp. un po ung sinide gap ko.. Compare dun sa di nakaside gap... mas malakas po ung side gaped plug.. mas tumipid,mas nagkaroon ng arangkada,nawala ung backfire,mas gumanda ung sunog. -nung una natatakot din ako gawin pero LOGIC nalang din and dun sa mga helpful guide and tips na nabasa ko.. ginawa ko,, after ko mag side gap. nagulat nalang ako sa result.. hehe,, walang pinagkaiba to pag magpapalit ka sa resing iridium,magtotono ka rin sa carb.

nabasa ko ito kahapon, kinakabihan sinubukan ko sa stock SP, ngayun umaga papasok sa office saka ko palang sinubukan. Eto naging observation/effect sa sniper ko
1. sa arangkada same perpormance ng IR SP. Sa gitna dulo mo mararamdaman yung lakas nya
2. Tumaas yung rpm sa gitna at dulo, pero lumakas din yung vibrate parang hindi match yung vitrate sa taas ng rpm. Kung sa IR SP mararamdaman mo yung vibrate pag nasagad mo na yung gear sa side gap 90-100kph palang sa 3rd ramdam mo na yung vibrate. O baka hindi match pag naka r.coil na.

pag ganito kataas tingin ko need ko magpalit ng sprocket para hindi masyadong galit

sa minor mukhang tumaas din,

mayang lunch mg SP reading ako.

eto na yung reading ko, paki basa nalang din yung SP ko kung tama lang yung sunog

medyo tumingkad lang yung kulay nya dahil sa ilaw pero hindi yan kulay kalawang

ganon, pero balik ko muna yung iridium ko, para mapag kumpara, kakatakot yung taas ng rpm at vibrate pag naka side gap lalo na sa dulo

paps 1 1/4 turn lang yan, after market air filter, remove yung choke, r.coil tingin mo ok lang yan?

side gapped stock SP nakareserve
tried it once -short ride no difference with Denso IU-24
which means it's comparable to special plugs like iridium
still to be tested for long drive though 50kms at least non-stop and no switch off
of the ignition
