thats still very litle, i migth have meassured it wrong then :| but how do i bend the outer electrode without damaging it?
Foxx4Beaver:
if you don't have a "good" gap tool...then you can pry it out very gently with a flat head screw driver...or if you have to go in, tap it very gently on a piece of oak....emphasis 'GENTLY".
when you do enough of em, like some of us on here, you can do it by eye.
umberto:
You need a tool like this. You put the plug on one side and then slowly slide it towards the gap you need. You can buy them at auto parts stores.

but the gap is definatly to big :|
alexander-vmann:
could 0.7 mm be rigth? i mean thats almost not even a gap it's not even a single millimiter! the standard br8eg gap is definatly over a mm! maybe even 1,5mm ! and the bike is hard to start but it runs! so could 0.7 really be rigth?
