just came home from work, (its getting a little cold in ny) and i let the bike warm up a couple minutes...about half way home (about 8 miles) it started missing when the rpm's were low, as soon as i got over 5-6k it cleared up.....fouled plug???? and if so how do i change them, never did it before....where are they located????

 

bigbrew....a '93 7?. Just pull the tank and pull the plugs. This just started? How old are the plugs?

 

sorry man, moved ya to here.

 

i dont care that you moved me drag.....just tryin to figure out the prob.....no its a 97 x7 so ill take that the plugs come out the same way, its a 97 zx7has about 7.5k on it and im guessin they are the origional plugsbecausei bought it used,so ill pull the tank and take a look.....two bolts by the tripple and dont lift it too far, theres hoses attached??????????????????my last bike was a 99 gixr600 soi have never done this before....so let me know if im doin it wrong before i start.....thanks bigbrew

 

if its anything like my 97 600r, then yeah theres hoses attached to the tank, once you get that off it should be easy to do. the outer plugs are easier, the inner ones you may have to remove the coolant hoses to get at. i was replacing all my hoses when i changed the plugs anyways so it worked out and they were already off.

 

ok.....im f_c_i_ retarded.....i was only out of gas, thought i turned the *** to reserve last night and i didnt turn it all the way, so im an
idiot, but thanks for your help anyway!!!!



this is me clapping to the music on the short bus!!!!

 

hahaha, priceless! I would still change the plugs if it were my ride not knowing if 7.5k miles are on them.

 

ok so maybe im not an idiot....it did the same thing tonight, rode it to work today at 3pm in the mid 60's, ran fine...got on after work, let it warm up a little, started home its in the low to mid 40's...ran fine till about 1/2 way (4mi) then started bogging again at low rpm's almost like a cylinder was missing.....is it just too cold for the motor to build enough heat to run right, its the only thing i can think of....turned the choke back on in the city to help keep it running but the motor temp is the only thing i can think of?!?!?!

 

Change the plugs and check the synch.

 

runs fine when its warm out, cruised at about 80 on the way in no prob, it did it in the exact same spot on the ride home as it did the other day, ill try riding it tomorrow afternoon again and see what it does.
