Given the plug is colder, it may well foul easier as it struggles to get hot enough to self clean / burn off.

I'd look at the state of the plugs that came out. If they are tan, or even show signs of overheating / blistering, then bumping 1 in the heat range would probably be ok.

If the plugs are already black / oily, then I wouldn't use the 9.

Excellent plugs, especially for fine tuning the two smokes as they've got stuff that'd equate to an 8.5 and simmilar in NGK heat gradings.

Should be fine running them in the summer, winter you might want to swap back to the 8's though.

The new plugs I bought for my Fazer are 9E I did not realise when buying though they did say Fazer in the add.

Anyway the Haynes suggests use CR8E and these which are possibly the originals are in the bike at present.

What is the difference between the plugs hot/cold I understand but should I be concerned replacing them with 9E's rather than 8's.


Just put them in and ride it.
