Spark plugs

Energy One
I use whatever fires the fucking bike up, keep it simple stupid. Been using Harley brand which I think are just overpriced champion plugs because Harley stamped them.

You guys may know better but the Big Dog mechanic here told me the enrichner will kill a plug. He said use it to fire it up then turn it off and throttle it up to warm it up. I don't know if true or not but there it is
I don’t use the enrichener at all. Two twist of the throttle works every time for me when cold, and just fires right up when already warm.

:agree: Good advice, some only have to twist the throttle, all bikes are a little different. What ever works for yours, stick with it.

I averaged 14 mpg hauling the big and trailer to and from daytona in my ram averaging 68-70 mph
We didn't in my buddies ram. Maybe upper single digits.
My 10' Ram has a 5 speed tranny and the newer ones have 8, that makes some difference, but I have found over the years of running the 95 corridor on the East coast that 65-70 or 70-75 or 75-80 will make a big difference in gas mileage. Once I ran it at 80-85 pulling a 7.5 x14 trailer with the bikes in it at about 4200# total trailer weight and it was right under 8mpg. I prefer to drive at night when there's little to no traffic and I have gone from above Jacksonville into South Carolina without having to kick it off cruise control at 75-78mph.:whoop:

Yup, in winter enrichener on for no more than 15 seconds... then enrichener off and I leave it running for 2 - 5 mins @ 1500 rpm with the throttle lock before taking off.
