Which plug heat range
« on: 30 December 2013, 03:18:58 pm »
Happy new year to you all :) Santa got me a simmi race can for xmas and iv'e got a k and n filter to go with it. Im going to fit some new plugs next service and just wondered whether to fit cr 8 or 9 plugs with the new set up. I'm presuming this will lean off the mixture slightly and maybe run a bit warmer ? Im guessing either would be fine but wondered what more experienced Fazer owners would go for. Cheers  :)

Spend a couple more quid on each and buy Iridium.  ;)

Hey folks..

Can anyone tell me what is the difference (if any) between NGK Iridium  CR8EIX  and CR9EIX plugs, as both
types are listed on fleabay as suitable for a 2001 model FZS 600

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NGK-Iridium-Motorcycle-Spark-Plug-Yamaha-2001-FZS600-Fazer-CR9EIX-/310709632447?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item4857bcbdbf

http://www.ebay.ie/itm/NGK-Iridium-Spark-Plug-YAMAHA-FZS600-Fazer-98-04-CR8EIX-4218-/151031477194?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item232a2d73ca

Cheers..


8's are for a lower temperature range (i mean as in the weather) - they're the ones recommended for our temperature here in the UK for the FZS
