Hi all,
Just bought some new spark plugs for my kawasaki zxr 400L9
What should the gaps on the spark plugs be?
Thanks

Re: Spark Plugs
...unless they are iridium, gap size is different then, dont gap them, leave them as standard

Re: Spark Plugs
You should always gap iridium plugs.

Re: Spark Plugs
The re-gapping of fine wire spark plugs that have very small diameter platinum or iridium alloy electrodes is not recommended due to the risk of damaging the electrodes. Virtually all NGK spark plugs are set to the correct gap for the catalogue applications at the point of manufacture
