Post by Nightrain on 02/04/05 at 08:31:29

I put this together because I like getting my plugs at places like autzone and pepboys. All the information was taken from the web so please, anybody correct me if I'm wrong.

Plugs that will fit the savage:
NGK DPR8EA9
NGK IRIDIUM DPR8EIX-9 (2202)
AUTOLITE 4163
SPLITFIRE SF416C
SPLITFIRE PLATINUM TP416C
CHAMPION RA6HC ($1.59 AT AUTOZONE)
DENSO X24 EPR-U9

Denso do an iridium plug, IX 24 B.

This plug has a 0.4mm centre electrode with a U groove tapered cut earth electrode.

A note:
If you switch to Champion the OEM plug tool won't work. The Champion has a smaller hex. Be sure to take one to the road! Small automotive, swivel type, works best.

809 champions. I totally swear by them.
NGK has taken a dump and I stared screaming about it back in 2003 on the gstwin website. Finally people are catching on. Viragoyech, savage and gstwin are all slowly out of NGKing themselves to death.
BTW, pre 2003 NGK's usually would last forever. I had a 1989 GS500 I bought in 95 with japanese NGK's in it, no model number in english, all japanese. I held on to it as a novelty when I pulled it off and when I thought plugs are bad on anything I'd use that and its never failed so far.
Cool.

Scope this out, these all cross reference to the stock plug. Some are 5/8" hex instead of 18mm...

Here's my 2 cents worth. For dink bikes(jap) I always stick with ngk or denso plugs. A lot of those fancy overpriced so called performance plugs show a listing for a bike,but their plug will cover multiple heat ranges so you never know what the heat range is for the plug you buy and most likely it's to hot. So here's where a kiss is best, keep it simple stupid.
