World's shittest plug :x

Never had a problem with NGKs? we have had a lot of problems with champion's thou.PS glad to hear you got it running! 8)



+1, every misfire or non starter i've ever had on both 2 and 4 wheels has come down to champion plugs; and have actually lead to several 2 banger engine failures. and lets not talk about the misprinted heat range mistakes common on champions......


I specify NGK plugs in all the bikes in the 4th, over just about every other plug on the market. Agree 100% with the above comments about Champion plugs, they are crap.
