How to Gap and Replace Spark Plugs in a 2002 Suzuki VL800

My bike broke down and so I did a little maintenance. Found out it's a little different working on a motorcycle.

Glad I could help! 😊

Use an air compressor to blow out any dirt or debris before removing the spark plug to prevent particulates from going into the engine. Tighten to 8 ft/lbs (96 in/lbs)

i have a 2001 Suzuki Intruder Volusia VL800 , when i change out spark plugs i always carry a pair of Hemostats in my saddlebags just in case the fall like yours did . .......... just make sure that they have no resin on them

[@bikernana7367]

No resin?? Do tell, I'm new and learning.

You are sweet as pie! I don't wanna mansplain cause you dont need my help, but I would call that gapper thingy a guage. Shiney side up!

You really shouldn't gap ngk plugs unless one was dropped just a tip... 20 yr master motorcycle tech

Thank you for the comment, I'm learning. If it's not in spec or they aren't even then what should we do?

My owner's manual (2009 M50) says to use NGK DPR7EA-9 or ND X22ESR-U9 Gap 0.8 -0.9. mm (0.031 - 0.035")....0.033 average....

Whoever said 32 needs to be smacked in the mouth

[@bikernana7367]

I got that information from the manual which actually says .31 - .36. But it looks like most recommend .35
