    Default Buying spark plugs from BajaRon. One question

    Do these Spark plugs need gapping or are they fine just the way they are out of the box?

    The delivered gaps are correct. Be careful measuring them as the center electrode is quite fragile. You will receive a packet of thermal paste and a packet of silicone grease. The paste is for the threads to improve heat transfer. Follow instructions exactly! The grease is for the boots and seals -- you can be a bit messy here. The airboxes are the hard part. Other people said you didn't need to remove the frunk...and then remove it. They are correct (I didn't) but you have to detach, lift and push backwards at least 6" the top part of the bodywork.

    I used this opportunity to replace the Torx fasteners with flanged button-head socket stainless steel. Much easier to see and to remove with ball-end Allen wrenches.
