[JaysXS400Special]

I just bought the bike and i through in a set of plugs i had layin around just to get it to fire. These plugs are good, but im not sure if they're the right kind. They are NGK B8ES. What plug should I be running in this motor.

Thanks

According to Old Bike Barn and Dennis Kirk yours should take the BP7ES plug. Hit up your local big auto parts place such as Auto Zone or Advance Auto or a Checkers to get the best price. I get them at Advance Auto for like $1.80 each where at my local bike shop they are $3 each for NGK's non-platinum.

No problem Jay. Hope ya get it together soon. Ebay is a good place to hunt down parts or http://www.oldbikebarn.com/ or https://www.partsnmore.com/index-yamaha.htm .

I hate partsnmore because of their dumb $35 minimum order. What's up with that?

I don't know but I've never had no trouble coming up with $35 worth of stuff to buy. I can say this their shipping is fast and free.
