Hey guys, I posted before but got no responses. Can someone help me out? I have an '05 CBR600RR with less than 5000kms and already my spark plugs are fouled and I have to replace them. Anyone have any ideas why this would happen already? The bike was running fine up until Friday night. I haven't done anything to it, don't ride it too hard, use the same type of gasoline for the past 3 months I've had it, never dropped or anything of the sort. I've been babying it and yet somehow something's messed up. I appreciate any help I can get.

 

do a google search for 03-04 cbr600rr maintenance manual and you can download it for free some places and this should give you a little insight on how to change the plugs your self, OR you could take it to the local honda stealership and let them screw you out of god knows how much mone. but it would be fixed.

I've already got the manual and know how to replace the plugs. The issue I'm concerned about is will it happen again? What caused the fouling of the plugs in the first place?

 

could be manufacturer defect... i would change them out and see if it happened again... and if it did then i would be concerned... just my $.02

 

do u let the bike heat up well (180 F) before shutting her off. also dont rev on shut down?

 

Why would you let the bike heat up before you shut it down? I don't rev on shutdown, not that that will do anything anyways.

 

cold cylinders fuel staying on the plug and that initial crank on the next time u start fowls them? << im not so sure if i remember correctly

its just what happens mechanic/racer guy told me along with a couple of the other in the shop as well as people on the forum

 

Exactly right tweak! It can foul them big time, especially if it's cold out...if you don't plan on riding the bike for a while (up to full operating temperature), don't even start it...especially during the winter...just let her sit!

Did anyone else tell you tweak that "fowl" are birds...

 

I didn't want to say anything, seein' as how he was tryin' to give me some help [8D].

Well seein' as how it's summer, I don't think the cold/winter issue is the problem. And everytime I do start it up I'm going for a ride. I don't just start it up to sit there and listen to the engine idle.
