Author Message   Captnemo Posted on Sunday, February 11, 2007 - 11:04 pm:        Maybe they'll make the 'Bolt a bit faster ! I ordered a box of NGK DCPR9EIX plugs to change when I have the bike apart to install a Micron Exhaust, do an ECM Flash open airbox kit, re-route the breathers, etc. When I checked the applications the plugs fit, they are OEM in a series of Ferraris !!! http://www.sparkplugs.com/results_fitment.asp?pid= DCPR9EIX If it's good enough for Enzo, It's good enough for me ! I thought it was Kinda Cool!   Tx05xb12s Posted on Sunday, February 11, 2007 - 11:06 pm:        Are they the correct temp rating? If not they're not going to last very long.   Captnemo Posted on Sunday, February 11, 2007 - 11:13 pm:        The "9" is one range colder than OE. It gets warm in Alabama and I'm good about letting things warm up to prevent fouling. BTW, the OE heat range plug is used in Lamborginis and BMW's.   Trojan Posted on Monday, February 12, 2007 - 04:11 am:        The 9 is the correct plug for the XB, and it is actually the NGK application chart that is wrong. NGK have not changed the information since Buell changed the heat range of the OE plug some years ago.   Tx05xb12s Posted on Monday, February 12, 2007 - 08:30 am:        Hmmm, glad I asked as I usually run NGKs on my bike. I bought what the chart said to buy. I haven't had any problems with them yet, but now I'm wondering if I've got the right plugs.   Not_purple_s2 Posted on Monday, February 12, 2007 - 10:13 am:        Hey Cap I see you're in Mobile too. I was wondering if there were any other Buellers in this town.   Captnemo Posted on Monday, February 12, 2007 - 11:05 pm:        There are a few of us, Not_. I ride a blue & amber '06 12R. I live in midtown, what about you ?   Bigbuell Posted on Tuesday, February 13, 2007 - 10:26 pm:        I bought my NGKs through Summit. I hope I bought the right one's (5545, DPR9EIX-9), thats the part # that I ordered. Anyone knows if these are the right one's.   Captnemo Posted on Wednesday, February 14, 2007 - 07:43 am:        I think you'll have trouble with those plugs. The NGK Plug # is DCPR9EIX Stock # on them is 2316. I ordered mine from sparkplugs.com and got a set of V Powers for the race car.   Bigbuell Posted on Wednesday, February 14, 2007 - 09:17 pm:        SHOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!   Bigbuell Posted on Wednesday, February 14, 2007 - 10:09 pm:        Shoot,I'm right! These are the right plugs (5545). NGK said that this is the new part number for XB series!

I'm liking sparkplugs.com Big, it looks like that have an additional designator for that spark plug gap, and it has a 13/16" hex. I like the 5/8" hex for wrench / socket clearance around the header tubes on my race cars. I didn't even consider the larger hex size would fit into the area.   Bigbuell Posted on Monday, February 19, 2007 - 12:33 am:        Ya, stock size is 5\8 socket and the 5545 NGK use 18mm socket, works just fine on my SSLong.
