After fouling my stock plug, I went online to purchase some Champions, which I did (I think the part number listed on the chinariders site has changed). I was speaking with Bruce Matty of EJ Cycles (one of the links on the LF200GY site) who is a brick and mortar shop in Ohio selling Lifans and a few others. He told me that from his and his customers' experience, the Champions and Chinese bikes don't mix well for some reason. I took one of the Champions (I bought four and have three left, as I have put about 70 miles on one of them, I will check this theory) However, I took one in to an autoparts store and bought the NGK equivalent for $1.99 + tax US (it's just the standard plug, however), gapped it, and its in the tool box on the bike "just in case..." The three Champions left will be back-up to the NGK. Now that I know I can buy locally, I will stick with the NGK's, however.
