Heres a story!

I got me a imaculate 98 honda magna about a month ago. But before that I tried to buy a new 04 honda aero, payments wont to bad, but to finance I had to have colition, which for a 19 year old with a clean record (thanks to lawyers) was 1100 a year and 200 down. Not good. So i got a bank loan and went off to find a nice used bike. After a few days I got up with a friend of my dads who was selling his bike. We talked for a while and agreed on 4300 b/c it looked great. Only one scratch at gas tank lid, probly from pump handle. I thought it was good deal b/c it only had 10000 miles and new they are 7500+ I checked it out and the front tire had some cracks around the rim, so it dropped 200 there. I was about to take it for a ride, but couldnt get it to stay running. He said it was cold natured, so after a while I new it was something else, b/c it was almost 70 with a mild wind. When I got it going good I put it on the rode, at first It didnt want to run 100% but after abount 10 min. it was going great, real great. So when I got back i told him the engine need a little work and he agreed so after a discussion on how much it cost to fully service and get the engine running with out 30 min of excercise before a ride, I left 3400$ poorer but a bike richer. Any way it has been giving me trouble since i got it but always got going after a while untill tuesday, when i left the key on and the battery went dead. I left it charging all day and before i went to bed I gave it hell trying to get it started to no avail. Wendsday I tried for a while but nothing changed, it was turning but on combustion. So I decided to take it to the local Honda shop, but I decided to check the fuel lines and filter and sparkplugs b/c I thought the problem was one of them, I could smell that I flooded it a few times so I new it was getting fuel, So I took out the plugs which were not very easy to get too. They were as black as night. So I ran to Auto Zone, but they didnt have them, advance auto parts had to order them but The Honda shop had them for 27$ Thats about 7$ a piece, but what can You do. Any way once I got them in it cranked right up on first try and ran like a brand new off the showroom floor vette. Any way Thoes bad plugs cost me 27$ to replace but saved me 900$ in the long run. I am sorry if the story bored you but right now I feel pretty good. I dont think I can bear to tell him how much it cost me to fix the bike.

Use NGK plugs only in the Vf750C, I recently had a customer who had the same problem, after much diagnostic work over the phone I sent him the new NGK plugs(and a carb shim kit) he replaced the champions he had in it, bike ran fine. Then he installed the shim kit, no more flat spot at 4K, better fuel mileage and more power.
