SIngh Ji.
on my C5 I found the double earth straps and a projected nose.
If on installing this on your bike your Idle RPM went up. Then it means your engine actually likes the Plug. Just back off your Idle 1/2 turn. (On the EFI you will need a screw driver with a 90 Deg bend.
Ron Ji:
I have replaced the B8ES spark plug with a projected spark plug with resistor - BPR7 ES (NGK). I noticed that the bike starts much faster, the idle is little higher, its engine sound is crisper, fuller, and shorter bursts. It likes to be up shifted (its gears) at a lower speed than before. The engine responds faster to throttle changes.
Can you elaborate more on the "Just back off idle 1/2 turn...you will need a screw driver with a 90 Deg bend".
I also want to know your and other members' opinions on the first photo below. It is B8ES spark plug with only 40 miles on it and you see some black carbon on threads (not on the white insulation). My question is - is it normal or was it too cold and not burning gas properly ? During that 40 miles (done in two runs of 10 and 30 miles on two different days), the bike ran fine and no start up problems. The second picture is the new spark plug BPR7 ES (NGK).
Thanks.
