    What's the correct sparkplug gap for a 83 Seca 900?

    I've got an 82 650 Seca, and purchased the XJ CD mentioned here
    http://xjbikes.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=148.html
    you might want to get it.

    Anyway, I looked up the specs for the 900, and the issue is there are alot of 900 models listed. For the XJ900RK is sez:

    Plug type BPR8ES 0.7 TO 0.8 mm (0.028 - 0.0.32 in)

    However, there are also an RL listed.
    Any idea which one you have?

    I'm looking for a 900 if you ever come across another one.

    You know what's kinda weird? I do have the XJCD and though I didn't check for the gap specs on it, I did use the Xref to find the plug type... But according to that, the XJ900RK uses a BPR7ES. So it looks like I've got cold plugs now.

    Btw, with new plugs and after some synching and colortuning, that is one smooth-running bike.
