    spark plugs for my 200s honda

    hey there, just got back from my local canadian tire to buy spark plugs, my bike runs a dr8es stock and the closest thing i found was a dr8ea, i am just sceptical if these are the same plugs? or if it will work. please help me out here guys

    I run the d8ea which is the same as the dr8ea in my 200, ive had better luck with the d8ea, they seem to last forever! but the dr8ea will work fine.

    Mike is correct! A D8EA will work fine.
    You can run a D7EA if you want or need a hotter plug.

    My 185S fouls out every plug I use except for NGK (Burns a lot of oil).

    The problem I seem to have with NGK plugs is that once they foul out, cleaing them won't get them working again, but with Chapions, I can usualy clean them up and they work again. So I run Champions, and they are cheaper.

    I use a sand blaster to clean spark plugs and haven't had any problems with fouling right away. In fact for some reason it seems I get more time out of cleaned ones than new ones.
