Ermmmm, Yes, that was my doing :-[ :-[ :-[ I serviced the bike last and the time before I think and I had some DR8ES's laying around that I purchased from DS a couple of years ago. Now, my logic tells me that I would have put in the same as I had taken out. Taking in to account the bike has had this problem since I got her, maybe this is why. Strange though as DS still show the DR8's as suitable for the 400/4. I still think the worn engine has something to do with it but will see how she gets on.

Keep up guys, am pretty sure I mentioned this on page 3 and on other threads. Its all Silvers fault for listing the wrong plugs. ::) These are the Denso plugs I use, cheapest around. http://www.gsparkplug.com/1x-denso-standard-spark-plugs-x27es-u-x27esu-067800-4140-0678004140-4114.html?___SID=U

You most certainly did Roy and as usual I took no bloody notice of what any Man says ;D ;D ;D
Him indoors was under the impression that I was using the non resisted plugs anyway but I wasn't. I have only been out on her once since Trig fitted the other plugs as have been riding other bikes but I'm hopeful it may have cured the problem but, as Trig said before, the engine does need some internal work done as she has oil vapour in the airbox. It can wait until winter though.
royhall:
Try the Denso plugs Julie, they made a huge difference on my 750. And pretty cheap from the Green Spark Plug Company, you never know.
Nurse Julie:
I will give them a go Roy.
Norniron:
Put a set of NGK 8EV in and the bikes idling nice now.
No fluctuating Julie.
Give Trigger a slap on the back for me
Nurse Julie:
Good Dave, that's you all sorted then.
I will give Trig a slap ;) ;) ;)
