cr9e or cr8e?

[Westy_mate]

Hey guys, nice and easy question for ya,

I have a ZX6R 2005 C1H and i was wondering what spark plugs i should run? cr9e or cr8e?

I ride my bike quite aggressively, often only a couple of days a week but full tit and i will be attending some track days coming up.

Manual says cr9e ngk

Which one??

thanks in advance!

Stick with the 9's. Any performance gain (if there even is one) wouldnt be worth the possibility of the hotter range plugs damaging something.

Not sure if it's even necessary on a FI Modern bike, but on my 2 Smoker I run 8's for road, which helps with the fouling. And 9's at the track (so it's not as hot while being thrashed constantly).

Use the stock heat range but in Iriduim all good

Well the first thing I'd do, is do a little research on what the difference in heat range designations actually means, and what effects they have. Then ask yourself why the hell you'd want to deviate from what the manual specifies.

Secondly, why do squids feel the need to make statements like "I ride aggressive....full tit" and not expect people to think they're a bit of a tit?

anyone got a link to what the spark plug codes actually mean ? I've often wondered about that ...

hmm i dont sorry, however the higher the number e.g cr9e the ("9" being the number) the colder the plug meaning it fires at a lower temperature.

Yeah try NGK dot anything. Lots out there if you google it

What my learned trashy friend is eluding to is that 9 is a colder plug than an 8, at least in NGK brand.

[edit OP has now pointed that out, did you know that originally? why would you want to go to a hotter plug?]
