What plugs are they? Usually Repco or supercheap can get bike plugs at reasonable prices without having to fuck about

the NGK ER9EH's in a VFR 400 cost $35 each from a dealer, and $30 each from ebay. 8mm thread or something.

Freck. And blurdy hell. What sort of machine needs such exotic sparkplugs? And why? . My two smoker plugs cost about $6 each, and nothing can be harder on plugs than a two stroke.

CAUTION: American plugs are not metric threads. A decent spanner will get them in though.

Simple maths really, Sparkplug.com /plug $4.17USD, local Repco $16, cycletreads $20

And thats for a simple CR8E as found in many Kawasaki's

For the price difference I can order in 3 sets 7/8/9's and experiment with the heat ranges.

Cheers

Actually, all spark plugs are metric thread. Always have been , even before metric was invented. Sort of like all tyres are so many inches diameter. Just one of those funny things.
