Just put them in like Lone* said you will break the tip. Mines doing great went for a 350+ today and first tank I got 47 mpg the second tank I got 50 mpg. It has been doing in town for about a month now so she needed a good blow out trip.

Re:NGK Iridium Plugs 2 Years, 10 Months ago  
well you guys convinced me....

my bike is due for a plug change anyway according to the manual...8300 miles (seems pretty damn early but oh well)

Found these plugs for a good deal on ebay. $32 free ship, no tax for 4.

Fellow said it earlier here but for those that missed it. When you call your parts store about these, most of them are clueless, I asked for the NGK/DPR7EIX-9 and had no luck, called the same stores and asked for NGK stock #7803 and almost all of them carried the plugs. Hope this saves someone the time I just wasted!

I work for Oreillys in N.M., just converted from CSK auto. Reason these guys are having a problem is
NGK started listing their #'s by the 4 digit stock # a couple of yrs back. The programers usually
type in this # not the long one, actually a lot easier to look up this way. As for the kid saying
only Iridums for the bike, Oreilly's pays by comission, Nuff said.

I was told and bought a set of CR9EIA-9 Plug # 6289 is this wrong? What should I do? What will happen if I use these? When I goggle Iridium plugs for the 1600, I see both.

Re:NGK Iridium Plugs 1 Year, 11 Months ago  
Who told you and what brand is the 6289?
According to the # decoding chart I got for NGK plugs the 6289 don't even have the same thread dia and is a colder plug. I guess my chart could be wrong but it was correct on the NGK DPR7EIX9 and that is the correct plug. Why not just get it?

It should be DPR7EIX-9

Just be sure you get 4 and don't try to gap the tip it's already set. Alittle anti-sieze on the threads and your good to go

I already bought but have not installed the CR9EIA-9's. But with further research on my own I see that the others that you said are the correct ones. I bought them online and will see if I can exchange them. Thank you for your input. Much appreciated.
