I had my SS180 dyno's at Scooterotica last year and set up lovely. However it tends to foul plugs every now and then. Dan told me that it would be one of two things; either too much oil in the petrol or wrong spark plug grade.

If I was to change the spark plug grade now, would that mess up the setting that the dyno advised to run with?

probably not. The dyno is good for checking power and torque, and also the timing/air/fuel mixture, etc. Changing the plug is more a "heat" issue which (and I may stand corrected) the Dyno doesn't usually check.

it's quite common for riders to change plugs to suit driving conditions (round town/motorway) without changing other settings.

That will probably help

Is the B7 not a cooler running plug than the B6 ? If so would that not make the plug foul up more.

Even more worrying when looking at a copy of the ss180 specs on Scooterhelp.com it specifies a bosch W240T2 which is not made anymore but when cross referenced is actually a B8es which is what I thought should be in there in the first place.

So hopefully, the owners eyesights at fault and has mistaken an 8 for a 6 :o
