Spark plugs.. Standard or Hotter range?
05/28/14 at 18:36:51
What plug do you use? Right now I am using NGK DP8EA-9. Been looking at the NGK DP7EA-9 which is a hotter plug as I mainly do a lot of lower speed riding. My plug has some black soot stuff on it using the standard plug. Has anyone ever tried the hotter range plug? If so do you or did you like it, hate it, etc.? Also does resistor plugs matter much? Thanks, S40 Guy.

I don't know about the Savage but the only experience I have had with hotter plugs was with a old car that burnt oil, and the hotter plug helped to run better. Other wise stick to the plug that recommended.

My 98 with 155 over 55 jetting ran an NGK DPR5EA-9, anything else fouled out in a week to a month. Bike smoked like a 1970s Kenworth.

If your bike is jetted properly.....the stock plug should work just fine.
