340/S First Ride
340/S First Ride
Had the 340/S out for the first ride today, started right up. Runs excellent, pretty fast as well, I reached 60mph with ease. I'm sure it would do 70+. It needs a new belt, does anyone know what part# from kimpex or carlise would fit this sled. Also Mark had BR10ES plugs in, would it be safe to run BR9ES? The plugs are a nice colour, I also have it mixed a little richer just to be safe. Thanks.

340/S First Ride
Dayco #HP3013.
The 340/S uses the same belt as a '81 Yamaha SRX.
I just bought new plugs for mine and the NGK book shows using B10ES plugs. I bought BR10ES because that's what they had on the shelf. The R just means its a resistor plug. If the plugs look good I'd leave well enough alone. Good thought on mixing it alittle rich!

They originally ran surface gap plugs. Rich has recomended the coldest plugs we can get, which are the B10s
