  • How to change Spark's plug?

    Hi guys, well first of all, sorry for my potato english .

    Lets start from the beginning, i have an accident with my '02 kat on 1/9/2015, i break the starter clutch cover and it ran out of oil. Since today the bike remains without oil (7 months).

    Yesterday i fix the cover with Pattex Nural 21, and it works as well, but when i try to start the bike, surprise (or not) no battery .

    I ask for a help to my neighbour to do a bridge between his car battery and mine... I try to start she during 5 minutes, but nothing, it seems like the sparks are dead or dirty, the main question is; i can remove them without quit the fuel tank? I have the tank full (20L) of 98 octane gasoline (standar spanish fuel)
    and i dont want to break some tube of it :/, please help, and if there some tutorial around there, it will be beholden thanks so much and regards from spain.

    I really cant wait for ride her again, let u guys this pic of she at August of 2015:

    Well... You can just lift the tank out of the way but, fuel should not flow out unless the engine is running so, you should be able to remove the tank with fuel in it.

        Yes, the fuel lines and a couple vent tubes plus the sender. Not a big deal

            Did you put fresh petrol ( gasoline ) in the tank since you fixed it?
            I've seen motorcycles not start because of old gas if its been sitting for 7 months./

                        Here (Spain) minimum gasoline that you can find are 95 :/, i put 98 because the price diference isnt too high (98 Repsol 1,30€/L) and (95 Repsol 1,25€/L)

                        Here is a shoort video of cold start up from this morning
                        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZO_r7P5PiFw

                        Btw, the minimun engine compression ratio for 98 octane is 10.5:1 and 750 kat rate is 10.7:1, and is not only spain, most countrys of the UE only have that 2 options of gasoline (95 and 98).

                            Don't run the low octane gas. It can contain ethanol. Carbs + Ethanol = carb problems down the road

                              All gas here has 10% ethanol in it...
                              You have to pay out for "marine gas" yea thats what they call non-ethanol gas here. Its like $1.50 more a gallon.
