That's an easy one, twist the tire 90°, if it easily goes past 90° it's low on air.........wait, never mind, that's belt tension.

 

Not necessarily, I've seen a gorilla twist a tire into a figure 8!

 

Incredible, we have a person ranting, whining, and insulting people because they won`t tell him the wrong way to install a spark plug.

 

Trex, I have been a forum member for 15 years and I believe you asked a question that has never been asked before, so some of the forum members were just having a little fun; granted at your expense. I am familiar with everyone that posted, have seen their past posts and I can assure you, no ill will was intended and you shouldn't leave the forum over some joshing; just lighten up a bit and laugh off the joshing posts. There are a lot of knowledgeable members here that are happy to help.

If you had come back with a reply that you did not have a service manual or a torque wrench, someone would have answered your question with an alternative method but the attitude you displayed in your first reply (post #5) was a bit inflammatory and some of the following replies were in kind. Give the forum a second chance, you will be missing out on a valuable source of help if you don't.

BTW, I use a socket, turn by hand until I can't, hook up the wrench and go about another 1/4-1/2 turn; you will get the feel of it; doesn't take much.

 

It's all good. No need to apologize. My rocket science comment was aimed the same direction.

 

Wow! Someone's having a bad day.

Ride safe!

 

Why don't YOU go back and read my original question, it's pretty clear, I could have made it a little clearer by saying what if I'm in a place with no torque wrench, no sm and no computer like these "experts" suggest and i want to look at the plugs then reinstall them. I was already pretty sure it would be about 1/8 - 1/4 turn something like that but wanted to hear from these "experts". but My question was below them so I was told to google it , go some place else and don't bother us in other words. So I came back with "what good is this stupid forum". I called a spark plug company and got a very friendly answer of 1/4 turn and when I told my reaction here he said yea, they'd need a torque wrench or be lost. That made me laugh.

 

And he's back while he may not be mechanically inclined, apparently he is very handsome I see you're in Hawaii, you should have asked Jessica.

It's been fun, but I got a feeling this thread is just about done. Better hurry up if you want to have the last word

 

Bonus cross thread points, Jim.

Cross thread.... spark plug....get it?

 

Oooh, triple for you Dan
