K!!! Onz!!! Then I go do my other bike first.

Sorry, my monitor was down, so did not contact you....anyways, I ground the Wave I myself already, and still fail to locate the rectifier. I saw the rectifier on my fren's Wave S, but it's just not the same on my Wave, so I skipped it.

personal opinion, shorten the OEM cable not the racing one, cos the core of the cable is different and is a better one than the OEM. BTW, how u connect the 2 core wire for the plug cable together? Did u twist the core together then tape up or just 2 core having contact together liao then tape up?

Bro!!!

 

Thanks for the disc...works a tad better than the original one. But after I got the discs, I saw a new rim set in JB and it comes with a bigger brake disc!!! Oh well....but your discs cheaper, of course.

 

Anyways, I shorten the "lacing cables" to the exact length and used inline splice to connect the cables, with an additional heat shrink over the joint. Looks real neat!!!

any difference in using idrium and standard plug for wave?

denso U20EPR9 or U22EPR9 which one is better?

thks...

I think the standard plug u state is wrong for the Denso one.

 

Standard plugs for Honda Wave.

 

NGK CPR6EA-9

DENSO U20EPR9

 

I also got see be4 my friend's Wave use

NGK CR8E.

[rickie]

sorry for wrong info

RXZdelux, u r right

it should be

 

NGK CPR6EA-9

DENSO U20EPR9

 

Yes. CR8E is like the standard wave125 CPR6EA-9, but the plug thread size is shorter. Some mech told me it will cause problem such as easily foul plug and something else. But i will try it after i keep a extra plug.

This plug specs i get from the Honda Wave Thai manual one.

 

So far I have been using the NGK CPR6EA-9. Bo taiji leh? For Denso don ask me because NGK hav always been my favourite.

 

Good luck in trying bro.

Here's a rough guide on how to read Spark Plug Codes.

if u wan better speed, use Denso Iridium like me... $18

[RxzDelux]

Let's expand the meaning of CPR6EA-9 and the CR8E plugs.

 

C = Thread (10mm), Hex (16.0mm or 5/8")

P = Projected centre electrode insulator

R = Resistor type

6 = Heat Rating

E = Thread Reach (19.0mm or 3/4")

A = Design Feature (Special Construction/Design) no details given

9 = Spark Gap (0.9mm or 0.36") pre-set

 

C = Thread (10mm), Hex (16.0mm or 5/8")

R = Resistor type

8 = Heat Range

E = Thread Reach (19.0mm or 3/4")

 

 

I think the original one will be better due to the Projected centre electrode insulator which lead to faster burning of the cycle. Just my opinion although the CR8E still can be use.

Just my opinion although the CR8E still can be use.

Care to explain why u say using a plug of heat rating 8 is ok ??

Manufacturers rec is either 6 or 7 for NGK plugs....

8 is colder than 7.

 

Thanks.

It's because my fren use it bo taiji leh? I never use CR8E. For me I always use the original dat is NGK CPR6EA-9. I believe Honda suits wif NGK because when I got it new it's wif NGK plug.

 

 

Thai R is there CR7E or CR6E?

Sawadee Krup....could you kindly explain the difference between a "hot" plug and a "cold" plug??? Something I could not seems to understand over the yrs.....

 

Anyways, I'm using the CR8E on my Wave I. Mechanix changed it for me, and I never really know it's a "cold" plug. Cannot really tell the difference as before the Wave went into the workshop, it had the EFI problem and after it came out, it was solved and a new CR8E plug (Mech claimed old plug was fouled, and what's new???).....so cannot figure the difference as the Wave Mai MengGan Liao.....

 

Krup Pom Mak Mak.

For the NGK HEAT Rating u can refer to this table.

 

http://www.spark-plugs.co.uk/pages/technical/ngkjpg.htm

 

 

Go to HEAT RATING Table.

 

2 is HOTTEST

 

12 being the COLDEST.

[NoLogicOne]

Thanks, but when should a hot plug be used and when should a cold one be used??? Governed by engine heat??
