Hi,
I am new to this forum. I bought a used RE Bullet 500 from a dealer.
On the day i brought home and unloaded from trailer, it ran fine but had low fuel light on. So i went and brought fuel in fuel can and filled it up full and ran on idle for a while. As the dealer used premium fuel with stabilizer, i let the engine run for a while and also with center stand on, i put it in 1st gear and let it run so that the gas gets into the system. After a while it just stalled.
I tried multiple times to do both kick start and switch start. But it did not help. As the fuel pump was turning on when i turn the key, I tried taking out the spark plug and it appears black(see picture). It was a NGKBPR5ES. But i had a spare NGKBPR6ES which i put on and it started fine. I was concerned about few things.
1) When i started in idle and put in full throttle, there were few drops of dark residue (like oil) that spilled out of the exhaust. Looks the same color thats on the spark plug. Is it a concern?
2) I was reading the previous posts and see people using Iridium spark plugs. Does the cap has to be changed when one uses Iridium spark plug? Does anyone have a link for both the Iridium spark plug and its cap.
3) I am having 2016 Bullet 500, and i see only one spark plug. I don't see a second spark plug on the other side. I see some youtube videos people replacing 2 spark plugs. Does anyone know if mine would have single or twin spark plug?
Thanks,
