Spark plugs

You'll actually only try to change the plugs on a hot engine about once in your lifetime; it'll be more than enough! :yikes:

Yep, If you ever sat on a hot stove, You'll never sit on a stove again unless you check it first.:roflblack:

Haven't had the Spyder long (1 month) but pulled the rear plug to look at it when I did the 600 mile service. I put copper anti-sieze on the plug thread just as I have done with the 30 other 2 wheelers I have had over the years.

Have I done wrong????

So is it di-electric grease on the thread and heat sink goop in the boot, or the other way around??? :yikes: :roflblack:
I like it simple :shocked: ; see a nail; swat it with a hammer! :thumbup:

Heat sink paste sparingly on the spark plug threads. Dielectric grease (boot release) sparingly inside the spark plug boot.

DI-ELECTRIC GREASE

:agree: Even without the arcing, the dielectric grease serves as boot release, and makes getting the plug wires off next time much easier.....on both the technician and the wires.

Scotty, considering the temps at the plug/boot......the D-E grease does not totally liquify and run out.?????.....Mike

You just put a thin coating inside the boot...not a glob. I use a Q-tip to apply it. I have never seen dielectric grease melt, though. It is not petroleum, it is silicone.
