Just use the original NGK plug. It's the best and it's cheapest.

Somebody might have put in the hotter plug on the mistaken assumption that it will make the bike run hotter (better).
Seriously, though, put in a set of B8-ES plugs. If they foul, it is better to fix the source of the fouling than to just apply the band-aid of a hotter plug, but at least you will know what's going on.

As Steve said, the B7 ES is the next hotter plug. Somebody was probably running a little rich.Originally posted by cutlass79500 View PostComment

If it quit while not sparking well due to a dead battery, they could well be sooty.
I still suggest putting in proper plugs before trying to do any diagnosing.
It just eliminates one more variable.sigpic
