General topics » Spark Plug Count

Hi all. I'll admit I'm embarrassed to ask but I've been Googling around and can't seem to find the spark plug COUNT for the RS.

Are we dealing with 2 or 4?

Hi all

I’m going to replace the spark plugs due to rough idle and sometimes a big black cloud of soot coming out of the exhaust on startup.

I checked the NGK website but there are four different types. Which are suggested ?

Can yoou explain why?

It has happened once or twice whenI start the bike, a big cloud comes out the exhaust but then disappears.

Also have rough idle. Since the bike appears to have had zero maintenance done to it, I thought start with the plugs and see if fuel is not burning properly?
