Somebody wanted a 'Window Breaker' !

Post by akpasta » Mon Jul 23, 2012 5:28 pm

Came out from work today and started the bike up, noticing a funny sounding idle. Realized only the right side was firing, as someone had decided they needed my porcelain.

Surprisingly, I was still able to get the left cylinder to fire and I got home to replace the plug. I was pretty lucky they didn't break any fins or strip the plug from the head or get pieces of anything into the cylinder.

I was stumped as to why they'd want it, until I started google searching "crackheads" and "spark plugs" and found that if you throw a piece of porcelain at a car window, it just shatters instantly. Neat trick.
