So I checked my spark plugs prior to my ride to western north carolina and as Im tightening them I go to tighten the 4th one and just before it even gets tight (i didnt overtighten it) it just turns loose again. I pull the tool out and the spark plug is missing the threads which broke off .... pics show what it looks like.
Now is there a tool I can buy or just take the bike to a shop? The pics after that are pics of what the spark plugs looked like. Looks like the engine is running good unless Im wrong? All the plugs looked the same.
I have never heard of the threads breaking off like this. Stripped, yes. But broken off completely? And I didnt even overtighten them... I had the torque wrench set on 5 ft lbs.... which i believe its 8 in the manual
