2007 model. 9000 kms. Only had bike for 3 months so thought id check the plug.

Looks like it maybe the original plug from new. Abit rusty. will crab a new one 

and keep it as a spare.

looks like a plug from a 1949 tractor - lucky to get it out. One problem is all the 'crud' that sits around the plug, I scrap & vacuum it out before removing the plug as it will all go down the plug hole and will score the barrel.

I was worrierd if i could remove plug as i seen the rust on it before i

tried. It came out easy. My feeler gauges have vanished. The

gaps looks to large. i think its burning well. Bike is original but 

had a look for header restrictor and nothing was there. Previous owner

said he had done no mods. 2007 auzzy model.

At least the colour looks good, never hurts to fit a new plug & carry the old one as a working spare.

My 09 TTR has the original spark plug with 20,000KM on it. After looking at your plug I think I will check for rust as well.

Mine came out easy. I would NOT try to take plug out without removing the tank .

make sure spanner is on plug perfect. Ive heard to blow all dirt away from plug

area first.
