Hi guys n gurls Im Cindy 26 yrs old in UK thought Id reg here as heard its a fountain of info and well worth it!

My draggy is running on 2 different spark plugs which suprised me bc I know and was expecting x2 CR7 HSA plugs to come out when I done her first change since owning her but I removed x1 CR7 HSA ( rear cylinder ) and x1 DR6 HS ( front cylinder ) I noticed that the front cyl has had its spark plug hole bored to only accept rhe D plug which is a bit annoying as bought from a dealer in summer who said everything was A OK with her grrr

Bike was running and still running like a dream but I wanted to know will running on these diff plugs do any damage to my engine? When I removed them both plugs were black and dry so should I take that as a good sign they both in same condition?

Any advice tips info would be awesome sauce ^_^

Thanks for reading

if the spark plug have the same gap (I hope gap is the corect word) will be ok. anyway, I hope you will get a better answer from a guy who speak english better than me :)

The only difference between them is the thread diameter, they both have the same heat range and specs. They will work the same. At a guess I would say a previous owner or mechanic stripped the thread on the head and fixed it by cutting a new thread hence requiring the bigger plug.

Sounds like someone shagged the threads at some point and had it bored and re-tapped slightly wider. I had the same thing happen to me after I bought mine, the threads were knackered so I had it helicoiled.

Try iridium tipped plugs by the way - I've got some in mine and they're awesome!
