The XT500 Project....

Recently, I have been spending a lot of time trying to get the family ranch back into operation.  It's a lot of hard work, and I have limited time.  I do, however, take time at the end of the day to relax, barbecue on the big brick pit, do some sport shooting, and generally enjoy the place.  It what the place is for.   A couple of weeks ago, I realized something was missing.....  a couple of dirt bikes!

So, I set out to find a couple of resident bikes, cheap, easy to ride and maintain.  Nothing fancy.  After a week or so, I came across not one, but a pair of Yamaha XT 500's storage fresh, and in decent shape for being 30 years old.  Score!  One for me and a friend!   Best of all, the price was right!  
Read on to find out how I transform these garage finds...

About Spark Plugs...

Technical Information - Spark Plugs

NGK Spark Plugs

Spark plugs are one of the most misunderstood components of an engine. Numerous questions have surfaced over the years, leaving many people confused.

This guide was designed to assist the technician, hobbyist, or race mechanic in understanding, using, and troubleshooting spark plugs. The information contained in this guide applies to all types of internal combustion engines: two stroke engines, rotary engines, high performance/racing engines and street vehicles.

Spark plugs are the "window" into your engine (your only eyewitness to the combustion chamber), and can be used as a valuable diagnostic tool. Like a patient's thermometer, the spark plug displays symptoms and conditions of the engine's performance. The experienced tuner can analyze these symptoms to track down the root cause of many problems, or to determine air/fuel ratios.
