Seems every cross reference has different numbers.
I have NGK DR8EA in my bikes. Crosses to Champion Z9Y or RA6HC or RA8YC.
WHich is it??? All of them?

Also get AC S102F, Autolite 2796. They don't seem to stock NGK's around
here any more.

I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months.
I don't like to interrupt her.

Don't know, and as far as I am concerned, it doesn't matter, because I
generally only buy NGK plugs for bikes.

NGK is the only brand normally stocked at most bike shops or dealerships
I've been to. Auto parts stores sometimes carry some NGK bike plugs that
also happen to be used on cars, but it's rare in my experience.

9 sounds about right - I'm pretty sure 6 is way too hot.

If 9s keep fouling, thrash it harder or change to 8s.

If you fit 6s, you can't un-thrash it to fix a holed piston.

Oops - I have that the wrong way round, the 9 is too hot & the 6 is right.

Champion plugs suck. Lowest quality you can buy.
