I have just gone for a ride and my bike started running funny...
Sounded 'fluttery' around 5-6000 rpm and when riding at 100kph it kinda went faster and slower at constant revs...
My mate thought it could be running on three cylinders and suggested i check the spark plugs.
I ripped the spark plugs out of my bike (as an aside my efforts in attempting to remove the damn things showed that having good tools makes a job much easier - I spent around an hour trying to get the plugs out with crap tools... went down to repco and got a motorbike plug tool for $4... didnt work. Went back and got a set of deep sockets by powerbuilt and bam the plugs just fell out.) and here are some pictures of them.
The third one from the left is whiter than the others...
what does this mean?
