If he has some sort of exhaust gas analysis to go with the Dino that could help you zero right in on the problem. id do the same thing

Since it ran fine after u did the mods then it’s probably not the mods unless they created some sort of condition that fouled the plugs. Inspecting the plugs might give u some info. Changing the plugs is a bit tedious but it’s really not that bad. Ive only talked to the Nash guy once but he made...

I added to the thread but the short answer is: 2017 is the last year they made them pretty with shiny paint job, etc. Beginning 2018 they were all cheap flat black everythin. Just my opinion,, the all black ones aren’t as pretty

Flat black is much cheaper to do than pretty shiny colors like 2017 and previous. one little trivia, on the...

If you have original Yamaha carbon fiber air scoops in MINT condition I’ll give you $1000 for them

The drain plugs on these are plastic. buy extras. ‘I have an 09 and I’ve never had a problem with them but I always put a brand new one on when I flush/change coolant

Thanks for the input. Ill Go ahead and try them. I think I can handle a bit of fettling
