 The book says 0.032 to 0.035, does that small amount make any difference ?

I set mine at .035" Somewhere between .032 and .035 is fine.  It is hard to get them exact.
I'm on somebody's list! BFD!

No, just try not to go above the high number or below the low number.

If you are riding  and it is a must that you keep your eyes on the road, you are riding too fast.

Set them for .032 and at 100k they will be at .035.....

How come my smiley face doesn't get included?

I think I have put three sets of plugs in the Valkyrie.  They all were set pretty much exactly the same out of the box.....like .33 or so (I think).  Whatever the setting, I have never messed with the gap on any of them.

Maybe Im wrong, but it seems they are "set" at the factory not just random, or they wouldnt all be the same.  So Im willing to assume that they are set at an Optimal setting for the performance of that particular plug.

Works for me, YMMV!

It's because you're trying to include it as if it were an image (picture).  Just click on the smiley.  No brackets (as generated by the image icon) are needed.

I check the gap on new plugs but have never needed to change the gap in the last 30 years.

Well< I set them at 0.035, should be good.

You been riding a Valkyrie for 30 years?

You're from Texas so I guess you wouldn't understand.  It's a difficult concept that I have been checking the gap on spark plugs for 30 years. :D

My spark plugs have never been checked since 1997 or 48,000+ miles ago.
