Of course. That goes without saying. But the issue is that adjusting it is risky in that it is very easy to damage the center electrode while doing so.

Any one tried NGK G-Power on Xtreme? I guess it requires little tuning after fixing on to the bike.

I got it on my bike, But tuning is nessecary. MAy be better fuel inflow along with air.

ive fitted it on my bike and would definitely recommend it. i have covered around 4000 km on it and its been great.

Has it improved the cold starts? I can feel the difference in mine though.

cold starting has improved but more importantly there is a noticeable decrease in plug fouling compared to the stock plug. comparing both for 4000km of usage.

Ok, I heard these special plugs last about 30K odd kms.as opposed to the 10/12K on stock ones. Lets see how it goes!

could anyone tell me how much the chain+sprocket set costs for the xtreme?

Are you sure stock plugs last only till 10/12K, There are people who crossed 30K kms with the stock plugs.

Is it that cheap? My RX135 sprocket set itself costed 700/-

People run on the stock plug for over 50K also. But the point is the efficiency of the spark. If you check closely the spark plug of bikes that have run 10-12K there would be a slight taper/gradient in the electrode. This degrades the plug performance. But it runs. Hope you got what I mean to say... in short, certain things need a change before we actually feel the difference.

A spark plug gap should never be adjusted. Especially on an unevenly worn electrode. So far I haven't seen an evenly worn out electrode. With the Platinum and Iridium plugs you don't even need to clean them.

Yeah, I agree with the optimal functional part, But I was talking about the LASTING thing of the plug.

he he... for one, i saw a unicorn with a stock plug after 64K KMs... the owner was complaining of knocking

Lol yeah, why wait till it gets fouled? Even the manual states 10-12K kms.replacement for good overall health of the vehicle.
For bikes without a kickstarter I think its all the more important!

hey people i got my xtreme on dusshera!!bt my problem is whenever i reach to 4000rpm my bike starts vibrating!!i'hve complete 450 kms on odometer!!!plz help!is it normal???service centre people says that it will be ok after 1st service!!!plz help

**Raccoon** · 10-09-2009, 01:53 PM

Xtreme seems to have resonance between about 65 - 75 kmph approx. Don't recall what RPM range that falls in. If thats what you are experiencing, then I guess its typical to Xtremes. In my case, these vibes reduced after I switched from Idemitsu to Gulf.

Everything will be ok after x services is a standard tactic they use. Perhaps it is successful because customers often get used to the problem rather than insisting on solving them. Or after getting to rape your bike, you may get several more problems, and forget about older ones...

Vibes are usually at 65-75kmph as Racoon said. And the RPM is post 5000.
