Bike just died. I restarted, took two tries with one backfire. Refired and ran fine since. I was around 7k on the sparkplugs, so I put in a new set (NGK DPR8EA-9, $1.98 each at Advance Auto).

Guess for $4/set, changing the plugs annually probably would be a wise move.



Spark plugs don't normally cause an engine to stall. What was the condtition of the plugs when you pulled them? Tan colour is ideal. Black means too rich, white too lean.

If the stalling has disappeared, probably just a glitch but....
