    I just picked up a new set of plugs for my scooter. I put them in about a year ago. I wanted to change them because I have been running a lot of additives in my gas lately. Not only that I think the front one fouled out on me cause I have my vibration back that I had back when I first got my bike done. But I am going to go through and check everything this time. :D

    Hey, I just pulled the plugs out and the front one was wet? :wtf: Is this something to be concerned about?? The rear one was dry as can be. Is this a good indication that my front plug fouled?

    I just got back from a little test spin and I think I got it licked. It is a lot cooler out now than what it has been. Now all I need to do is replace the shifter shaft seal and all is good to go. :D

    Yep, I will, tonight I had some family things to do. The BIL is getting divorced and it got messy real quick so HR and I are busy trying to get him situated and somewhat prepared for what is about to come. I am staying away from night riding as much as I can now considering that I came close to taking out two deer last week. At least very little night riding until I install one of those new LED headlights that Harley has out.
