Had a bit of spare time at work one day so went on the search until i found a washer that was 0.75mm thick.

The last few couple of sets of NGK CR8E's I've fitted have all been within spec straight out the box.

I can't imagine them ever being way off spec at all to be honest straight out of the box.
Everyone tends to make a fuss about the gap but we're talking about a savage electronic spark engulfed in highly volatile inflammable liquid.
A few thousanths of millimetres are not gonna stop a plug igniting fuel and send a bike into mass confusion.

Unless they are fakes and there a plenty of fake NGKs around

Re: spark plugs and gap - Bretty - 05-06-16

Really?! How would you spot a fake spark plug?

:agree Sun does not seem to have affected his head in Aus  :lol :lol

Re: spark plugs and gap - Bretty - 05-06-16

Wow, ok. I'll give mine a little check next time they are out as I always but the cheapest plugs I can find on amazon or ebay, assuming NGK is NGK and they are all the same.

We'll see...
