Hey guys. This is the color of left side spark plug in my P150 dtsi. Could anyone say whether its running in rich or optimum mixture. It looks like rust formation.
BTW which spark plug we have to consider for identifying A/F mixture?Comment

Its difficult to tell that way buddy,that too looking at the wrong side of the spark plug.Can you please shed more light on whats your bikes odo reading???
NO SPARK PLUG WILL TELL YOU WHEATHER THE MIXTURE IS LEAN OR RICH. The purpose of the spark plug is to ignite whatever is sent by the carb. However over a longer period of time you may notice very negligible differences.One more thing that influences the performance of spark plugs is your riding style(most people are not aware of this).For Example if you are person who rides around 40-50kmph without rapid acceleration or deceleration it is advisable to go for HIGH TEMP Range.On the other hand if you are a stunter or a person who relies on rapid acceleration or decelaration you should go for COLD Temp range. This is the reason why most people dont find the difference in performance even after changing over to high performance spark plugs on their comparatively less powered bikes.
Hope this explains a bit about your queryComment

I dint know from which side we have to check the spark plug. But if its running rich the color wil be brownish or black right. Yes the purpose of spark plug is to ignite the air fuel mixture inside the cylinder. [ just wat i studied in 2nd sem
] My odo reading is 9.7k kms buddy.
Could u say how to observe it from spark plug? Since i tuned my carb i want to make sure its running perfect..Comment

A chocolate brown spark plug says you are running rich. A rule of thumb used with REs.Originally posted by Prabhakar150 View PostI dint know from which side we have to check the spark plug.

NGK CR8EIX for Yamaha FZ series...
hello friends...
im from kolkata and i ride a Yamaha Fazer...rode Bajaj Pulsar 150 for the past 4 years....
my new beast is just 16days old...done 600 kms...changed the engine oil to YamaLUBE semi-synthetic (R15) and the spark plug to CR8EIX @ 400kms...
Initially i was also confused regarding the model no of the IX plug as it is not posted on the NGK partfinder list...
Went down to Wellington(world famous in kolkata for Bike accessories and modification)...had a trusted guy...he chekced onto his catalogue and told me that there was no IX for Fazer/FZ(same "part finder" thing that is posted on the NGK site) but also said that many FZ users hav put on the CR8EIX to their FZ's and dre's been not a single complaint...initially CR8EIX is recommended for Yamaha R15.
Went on with my gutt feeling...bought the CR8EIX...till now no porblem...
I didnot notice any considerable change like better throttle response or increased top end etc etc...may be because its a new bike only 400 kms done when changed to IX...hopefully 3-4years older bikes would revvup and cold starts wouldnt b a problem if fitted with IX. But i would like to draw your attention to one change that i have felt though yet to verify it, is that mileage has increased by atleast 3-4kms...im hopefull that it will further increase after the 1st service since before installin IX i was getting not more than 30kmpl....and according to SVC guys FZ series gives a mileage of 35-40 in city conditions.
Im attaching some pics of the 200km old CR8EIX on my Fazer which i took about half an hour ago...i would like your views on its condition...
Thank YouComment
