Hi guys,
This may seem like a dumb question so I apologize if it is. So I was going to replace the spark plugs on my '84 RZ and I bought the ones my local parts department said were the appropriate plugs (they insist they're the same part #). Pictured on the left is the old one pulled off the bike and on the right is one of the new ones. They don't seem to have the same fitting. Can anyone tell me what's going on here?
Thanks

Re: Wrong Spark Plugs?
the tops just unscrew , just get a set of pliers or grips to loosen

Re: Wrong Spark Plugs?
Okay thanks. I tried that initially but didn't put a lot of force into it for fear that that wasn't the right thing to do. Thanks again
Re: Wrong Spark Plugs?
I just bought NGK's from my local supplier and didn't notice that it was labelled as 'fixed cap' or something like that. I got it in the head and then remembered I had to unscrew the end, was well fu*#ed by the time I took it out to figure out what the problem was. This must be something new, when I returned the others and specified that I wanted removable tips they also had them in stock.
Re: Wrong Spark Plugs?
dont think its something new
i have seen fixed ones for ages
maby people were having problems with them unscrewing and they felt the need to bring out a fixed cap
