Thanks for listing the part number for NGK iridium plugs- they are super in my bike and I'm due to change plugs in the Mini. -Jeffy.

Can you tell me the spark plug gap setting?

I bought the plugs but had to special order since I live out in the sticks where nobody even knows what a Mini is- so they didn't give me the gap, like they normally do. Nobody knows me at the gas station either- don't spend as much time there as everyone else! -Jeffy.

.032" as stated on the link for post #5.
They should be pre-gapped. It's very easy to break the thin electrode
when checking or adjusting the gap, so be very careful.
