No idea what you are riding.
My 04 Kat 750 had spark plug loosening issues that finally end with the ejection of a plug. Modified the head to accept the 12mm thread plugs and so far the loosening issue has not returned.
As to the smell, running to lean can cause a misfire and related odor. Since CO is odorless what you smell from the exhaust is HC which is caused by incomplete burning of the fuel. -
Thanks
its an 05 kat 750. new plug went in and tightened down nicely. Maybe this cylinder wasnt burning all hc due to plug being loose.
