ok im looking to see if there is a link or post here on sparkplugs

im realy into tearing the bike down. with a good yamaha rider. not a venture owner. but has a stable full of old yamaha,s ok he got my tires from the guy who was suppose to have done them the last time and didnt. also got my brake pads and did the rotors. so i now know i have the new tires on the new brake pads and the rotors. bike is realy starting to come along thank the good man above for this man. well he decided to pull the plugs. due to me useing the seafoam and still haveing some idle issues and slight backfire on right hand side. well the rear spark plug on the right hand side had something hard and black stuck between the electroid and the L on the bottom? so im thinking this plug wasent fireing? sorry i didnt snap a pick but it looks like a hard piece of coal?. where going to install fresh plugs. and recheck idle and stuff. he doesent have a sync tool or know how to sync the carbs. so anything i can do or try. also what type of glue can i use to fix some cracks in the side covers? both are cracked about 2 inches on the front part of the covers . or should i use a hot solder gun and melt them from the back side?

The "Coal" is carbon breaking off from around the cylinder heads. Sounds like some good build up in there.

 

As far as repair on the body work any good two part epoxy will take care of that. Make sure it is for hard plastic or ABS. I just did a lot of repairs on mine this winter.

 

You might find some useful info in this thread.

Yes, but why order there when the VentureRider price at Thunder Valley Powersports is 36 cents cheaper?

Makes Sense to me !!

I used sparkplugs.com for the irridium plugs. However, since I have not seen any substantial improvement I bought the NGK DPR8EA-9 at O'riellys auto parts for 1.99.

Same here Ruffy

Buy mine from O'riellys as well, for $1.89 hard to beat that price! and I dont have to pay shipping charges either..
