Motorcycle spark plug gap log calculator

Calculate amount each reading lies below supplied range and amount each reading lies above supplied range with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use amount each reading lies below supplied range and amount each reading lies above supplied range to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Amount each reading lies below supplied range (mm)

max(0,minimum−reading), using exact decimal measurements.

Amount each reading lies above supplied range (mm)

max(0,reading−maximum).

Reference midpoint minus each reading, signed (mm)

(minimum+maximum)/2−reading, an arithmetic reference offset only.

Reading IDs outside supplied inclusive range

List readings below minimum or above maximum.

Symbols and units
a
Supplied gap measurements: cylinder ID, gap mm
b
Externally supplied comparison minimum gap (mm)
c
Externally supplied comparison maximum gap (mm)

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • A supplied gap-measurement comparison, not a spark-plug adjustment instruction, compatibility check or service diagnosis. Manufacturer limits, measurement conditions and whether a plug can be adjusted are not inferred.
