what size spark plug socket is needed? and what is the NGK spark plug part number for our bikes?

CR9EIX is the iridium plug($10.50ea) cr9e is the traditional plug($5.50ea) @ motorcycle superstore

they require 5/8 socket

The book calls for NGK CR9EIA-9 and the only tool to use to remove them is the stock spark plug socket. Use a gear wrench to turn it. 14 mm gear wrench I was told.

I've only had the one on the right out because the others are unbelievably hard to get at. You'll need the tools mentioned here.

rook thats what i saw too but look here at the fitment chart from ngk websight for that plug

Hm- I wonder if it was an oversight. I would pull a plug and look at the part #.

People do use different plugs than OEM but I've heard there is nothing special about plugs, just go with stock plugs.

Never changed plugs myself but that's a common enough procedure that we would have prolly heard if the spec OEM plug did not work.

???? I'd pull a plug and look at the part # but I'm sure there are many possible plugs other than OEM that could work.

You know who would know this 4shore??

ok kawasaki parts house says oem is the CR9EIA heres the link

have to get a socket, cause I bought the bike used and it didn't have a tool kit in the tail.

i can mail u mine as long as u mail it back lol

PM sent.

THANKS!

Thanks again DogoZX! They were ALOT easier than expecting! Only took about 30 minutes, cause I already had the plastics off. Mine were in bad shape. Much more snappy now, can't get on it hard yet cause the roads are still cold and salt covered.

I got the spark plugs off of amazon.com and paid $30 shipped for the NGK CR9EIA.

Thanks again DogoZX!

No problem... glad to help.
