Spark plugs?

So plugs are so rare to change I have forgotten. I looked on the NGK site and they don't list plugs for the vtr.

Also went on ronayers and couldn't find anything.

Were the OEM plugs actually iridium? I was hoping to use copper plugs.

What are you guys using and what do you think is best (what's worked best for you?)

Manual calls for a DPR9EVX 9. That's what I put in. My bike is stock with the exception of a K&N. Runs great.

NGK plugs

The DPR9EVX-9 plugs were Platinum tipped, the new Iridium plugs are DPR9EIX-9. I usually get mine at Advance Auto, they can get them the next day from their warehouse if not in stock, and the price is close to the lowest I've found on the internet.

Yes the NKG site does show the current and correct plug for a VTR


NKG DPR9EIX-9 is the currently available and correct plug for the VTR
