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.

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.
