My experience with NGK is that it last longer than Denso... as it the strength of the spark fades less with time. If you use denso then you change 5k like jhawk2820 mention... for NGK it easily last 10kmin. My wave S already more than 50 000km I cange spark plug only 3 times. fuel consumption about 170km on 3litres 92petrol. mod only grounding cable.

i thought the original spark plug recommnedation is C7HSA or C6HSA (NGK). maybe my wave is too old, FS plate. cost me $3.50 only.

I get this from the original thai wave-s manual.

 

Standard plugs for Honda Wave.

 

NGK CPR6EA-9

DENSO U20EPR9

 

Mine when i first bought the bike and after dat i open the plug it's an NGK plug which states CPR6EA-9. So i guess i will be sticking to dat.

[allenkey]

when i bought my 2nd hand wave-s it was fitted with NGK CR8E, then i changed it to DENSO U20EPR9 myself. i found tat my wave was easier to cold start in the morning when using CR8E, usually jus 1-2press electric-start. after changing to DENSO U20EPR9 have to kick-start quite a few times.

Ive been using NGK platinum 'G' Power for 2 wks plus now.

 

I find that the plug gives good pick-up and can feel the diff (more power), but only when the engine is warm.

 

What I dont like about the plug is the difficulty in starting in the morning (cold engine). Usually I have to open the choke and ram the throttle a bit during warm up. And sometimes engine keeps dying despite opening the throttle slightly during warm up. When moving off after that, bike will keep seem to jerk repeatedly (loose power 3-5 sec.. then suddenly gain power) until the engine is 'warm'.

 

On my way back jus now it rained heavily. Though in 3rd gear and accelerating, bike suddenly lost power (5-6 sec) before gaining back power. I.e, very jerky. When i stopped at traffic lifht, engine died.Had to start a few times, use choke (waste battery, petrol).

 

I jus changed E.o,wash carb,change air filter 2 wks ago togehter with plug. So I conclude tt the plug is no good. Previous plug was CPR6EA-9 I think and morning start 1-2 times w/o choke.

 

So most likely I will go back to using the 'normal' plug next time.

I also have tried the NGK G-Power Plugs. Ok lar not bad. For the morning cold start it's normal what to use choke then start. After a while need some time to circulate the engine oil to other parts of the engine dat's why need to warm up first.

It's because HEAT rating 6 is HOTTER than 8 rating.

 

LIke the NGK G Power plug is CR8EGP

 

while the original is CPR6EA-9.

 

Cheers bro.

[clement150]

hi, does anyone know wat are the standard type of sparkplug for x1?

[y0s_bikey]

x1 standard plug is from yamaha their own plug available from yamaha dealer available in stock no need order...

check out the DIY session coming up real soon i will be organising just bring money wat plug u needed and venue we will arrange.

[pergilahsayang]

Hello im new in here. Juz wanted to ask u guys. What if i used NGK Iridium spark plug on my std wave100R eh? will it cause any dmg to the piston in long run? cuz i heard tht some ppl use "powerful" spark plug on their bike then end up with a hole on their piston. Is tht true?

[y0s_bikey]

that is true i personally seen a couple before...

basically the most important is dat u fix in the spark plug is something similar as stock plug and not out of the range wan... another things i think it could be the cable dat cause it as well... but since ur bike fully stock den shouldnt b a prob la...
