The shop manual says that 1990 to 1993 models should use:
\nNKG CR8EH9
\nNIPPONDENSO U24FER9<\/p>\n
The shop manual says that later models of the VFR750 (1994+) should use:
\nNKG CR9EH9
\nNIPPONDENSO U27FER9<\/p>\n
HOWEVER, many online spark plug configuration wizards (such as Amazon and Fort Nine) say that the NKG CR9EH9 is the correct spark plug even for an early 1990 model like mine. The NKG CR9EH9 is a colder<\/em><\/strong> plug than the CR8EH9 specified in the official shop manual. Running too cold a plug is considered ‘safer’ than running too hot a plug. A too-cold plug will foul. A too-hot plug will cause pre-ignition and can destroy the engine in a short period of time.<\/p>\n Bottom line: Use four NKG CR9EH9 spark plugs, available online and at Canadian Tire.<\/p>\n Spark Plug: NGK CR9EH9 (Typically sold pre-gapped to 0.8mm) Brake fluid: DOT 4<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Common problem areas<\/p>\n Leaking front forks<\/p>\n Parts: BUT, while you’ve got the fork taken apart, you might as well install fresh bushings: <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Oil Capacity at Change: 2.9L Oil Capacity at Change + Filter Change: 3.1L Oil Capacity after rebuild: 4.0L Viscosity, Canadian Climate: 10w40 My preference: Motul 5100 Ester 4T Technosynthetic Oil 10W40 4L K&N Performance Gold Oil Filter Black – KN-303 … Continue reading
