spark plugs

I recently ordered a couple of plugs for the c-dale from my local shop. My wife picked them up for me on her way home and they gave her the wrong plugs. What I am wondering is, has anyone else used this plug, and will it work ok or not?

I ordered NGK CR9EK, and was sold NGK CR9E, which looks like the same plug but it only has one tab on the bottom as opposed to two.

This does not in any way answer your question, but I figured you or someone else would like to know. NREL has the spark plugs for 5 bucks opposed to the normal 9 or 10.

I'll let someone answer your question now

Thomez, they do have them for $5, but they require a minimum order of $100.

If you need anything else from them it's a great deal, just don't plan on calling them and order a couple plugs.

Oh.... :eek:

Thanks for the info. I hadn't ordered anything just looked at the pricing list.... you could always buy a set of Ohlins to get your spark plugs and probably make money selling them to a 400EX owner

Yeah, they failed to put that important peice of info on the price list.

Joe, never tried one of those plugs, but I'd probably stick with the stock spec.

I picked some up at the local Polaris dealer one time. Not sure which Polaris uses them, but they had them in stock.

I am sure the stock plug is the way to go, I just thought I would keep the CR9E and use them in the interim until I can get back to the bike shop if they would work.

Joe,

Didn't have anything else to do at work, so I called NGK. The CR9EK has the dual ground electrode. Our motor requires the extra ground. The CR9E only has the one ground. It will work, but you risk burning the electrode off and having it drop into the cylinder. So I'd just wait for the right ones to come in!

thanks for the info. seems as if the bike shop has the correct plugs in stock, they just gave her the wrong ones. I will switch them out asap.
