One brand new NGK Iridium spark plug on the front cylinder, and the stock HD one in the rear..

As I was changing out the plugs (bike only has 8200 miles) I guess I over torqued one and broke it... No place has these plugs in stock so I just put in the new one for the front, and didn't check the back.

The plug I removed looked fine... And the bike is running fine..

Question is will running this for like a month be ok? Or am I hurting the engine. I think it's fine...

Thanks guys!!

p.s. Took the stupid CA emissions can off, and did the the crank case breather mod!! Pics soon.

im not sure thats a good idea.. i'll see if i can find one around my way tomorrow locally and meet you half way or buy a new stock plug and wait for the new one.you know you can blast it instead....

Tomorrow I am going to have Auto Zone order one, should be in the next day.
The bike runs fine right now (not better or worse then before), just the rear has the stock plug and the front has a new one...

Bump, for real though, do you guys think it's bad to be running with one new and one old spark plug?

My 2cents is if it's firing then it will get you back home. Wouldn't run for extended periods or under extreme loads. Just take it easy until you get the new one in.
