    OK Kittie, I'm not sure how much you know so I'll make it real simple, sorry if i'm telling you to suck egs. It's pretty simple when it's explained right...

    NGK is just the brand name.

    The "B" simply means it's a motorcycle plug. ie. Bike.

    The "R" in the part number signifies an internal resistor inside the spark plug, which cuts down on engine noise in the radio.

    The number is the plug's heat range, and basically is a measure of the spark plug's ability to remove heat from the combustion chamber. A smaller number means a hotter plug which dissipates heat slowly and a higher number means a colder plug, that dissipates heat quickly.

    The "E" is long-reach. 'Extended' i'm guessing

    And the "S" is 'Standard' will the "IX" as mentioned above is Iridium... which means it's made out of some flash shit that's supposed to give a better spark.

    Hope that sort's question 1.... now question 2.

    Yeah it's probably an earth which means it won't be carrying any current and is totally safe. Easiest way to check is with a multimeter, or touch it breifly against the frame or engine, if it sparks, it's carrying current. and don't be afraid, 12 volts won't hurt you.

    Question 3..... WTF?

    Is it a vacuum hose between the airbox and carburator maybe?
    It's just one of those days, where you don't wanna wake up,
    everything is fucked, everybody sucks,
    You don't really know why but you wanna justify ripping someone's head off

    You're not dumb, we all started somewhere.

    Respect to you for trying, I can't stand chicks that know nothing about the car/bike they use and have no interest in learning. Good on ya!

    Ok thanks for explaining that so I can actually understand..

    Umm.. Hold on tried getting a picture but my pxt isn't light enough.. *drawn it up in paint*

    Not much but maybe this might help seen as I can't get a decent photo......

    How large is the plastic ball? what colour is it? and are ther any other hoses connected to it?

    Someone familiar with GN's will probably have better luck than me answering this one.

    EDIT: if it is just a length of vac hose then pull it off and stick some wire thru it to remove the crap. Compressor works well too but im guessing you havent got one.

    Bowt the size of a large large egg.. Its um............. The colour of a fuel filter in a car when its been used a bit.. Goes from that white to a brownish creamish colour (hard to explain) There is a hose going in the top, and a hose coming out the bottom, the hose coming out the bottom of it attaches to the side of the metal thing (as shown in the picture) that the sparkplug and stuff is in...

    Stab in the dark for me was that it was to do with fuel and that its a fuel hose but I'm not sure..

    Thank you for the explanation, I was about to do the R stands for resistor spiel myself till I read your post. Kitty keep on asking the questions that is the only way to learn!!

    Is it just me, or does that look like a kid sticking a fork into a power socket?

    If I touch the negative terminal on my battery and the positive terminal on my battery at the same time what does it do?

    Fair point. Tho in my defence she is from norfland so she's probably already tried testing it with her tongue!

    You're welcome.

    The only stupid question is the one that isn't asked.

    Try it... You won't feel a thing. The voltage is too low and the resistance of your body too high for any substantial current to flow. However drop a spanner (which has pretty much no resistance) across the terminals and you'll see sparks fly.

    It's the current not the voltage that kills people.

    refer Ohm's law.... Voltage = current x resistance. as your voltage is the constant (12V), if resistance decreases then current has to increase. Make sense?
