Yes, if they carry your plug model. For my FZ1, they are NGK CR9E (I think) and I got them at NAPA

Why? Don't waste money on fancy marketing. Just look in your manual and see what the OEM plug is and get those. But its your bike and money.

The manual says it comes with "NGK IRIDIUM CR9EIA-9" so ... :) Thanks for the help. This gives me something to do tonight :)

Iridium plugs last 3 times as long as standard plugs, no fancy marketing involved. Its just what they are built to do.

Of course, they cost that much too but at least you don't have to change them as often.


NGK IRIDIUM CR9EIA-9
That would be the exact one you need.

Check O'reilly Auto, too .. they often have the best prices on NGK plugs (local).

Nobody had them in stock except NAPA at their main warehouse on Peachtree INdustrial in Norcross. I picked up the last 4 and spent the last 2 hours (i was haivng fun, listening to music, not in a rush) putting them in and man, they made a difference for me.

So thanks for all of the advice, it really helped, especially the part number.

Oh, and they were $37 for 4 of them so it wasnt that bad :)

Changing spark-plugs are one of the times I get jealous of V-twin riders!
