Title: Which plug heat range
Post by: Arbie 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 :)

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
