    Hi All
    I get the cooling fixed and now the 1985 500 interceptor dies as I'm coming to a stop. It idles ok sitting in my driveway but dies when clutch in, coasting to a stop. I pop the clutch it fires up. If I blip the throtle when coasting I can keep it running.
    Any ideas to look at?

    Found the problem. 2 fouled spark plugs :) I took out DPR7EA's but the Honda dealer gave me DPR8EA's are the new ones hot or colder?
    Thanks

    I found out as the # gets higher the plug gets colder. FYI

    Hi All
    I got my K&N air filter (the stock one has never been changed and needed a new one bad! but the bike only has 8500 miles) put it in with the new plugs and WOW its running great! I put in about 2oz of Chemtool b12 in the tank and burned up couple of gallons of gas sunday. Had a great ride.
