Having a look at purchasing spark plugs..Triumph manual says DRP8EA-9 ...thought i would check with the NGK UK site for upgrades etc they say DRP7EA-9..

Going to go with the Triumph manual i think.

How many miles do you have on the 07?
Reason I asked is I just installed the update kit and they sent new plugs. I inspected my old ones and they're still primo. But I've only got 20k on the bike and would expect as such. Nothing wrong with new ones, but if you're low mileage, you may not need them?

Hi,the bikes only done 9500 mile.I have taken the plugs out to inspect them,the colours look good but just look abit tired,think these are the original plugs and have never been changed....just thought i would change them as i am doing a oil service.
