NGK's are good spark plugs. |

Hi Jon While the bike is apart I was looking at doing the wiring upgrade. When I look at the photos of your bike it almost looks like a different bike. My bike is very original and although first registerd in 1990 I would say it was made late in 88. My Rgulator is on the right hand side of the bike. I have a large ignition box where your regulator is different rear suspention, carbs, cans and different coils. not a problem just interesting how different two bikes can be. Have you put a relay on the headlight? |

All the spark plugs are quite similar. The most important thing is the clearance, rather than the brand. Ciao |

Well, when my Paso was still completely original it came with Nippon Denso plugs. The bike of course was back-firing occasionally and when I changed them to NGK and then to NGK Iridium plugs things became even worse. Since then I`m using Champion RA6HC plugs and am very happy with them. I don`t say the other plugs are bad as with a good setup of ignition and engine they may have worked fine, but Champions were never so picky. The RA6HC replaced the RA6YC longer time ago. Gerhard |

Thanks. I just bought the Champions RA6HC's They are 1/4 of the price of the NGK Iridium plugs and they had them in stock. Sometimes 4 times the price is not mean it's better for every aplication. |

I switched to the Champion plugs and the bike ran much better than with NGK plugs. And yes, they are cheap, when you find them. I went to 4 different Autopart stores to find them. When the guy told me that they were only $1.50ea, I just took 4 and put the spare pair in the tool kit. Phil |
