Spark Plug Change

Leo · 07-12-2007, 12:12 AM

I changed the Spark Plug on my Lifan LF200GY-5 at 2900 KM's. The original plug looked fine, but I had read some other posts saying that their bike seemed to run better with another plug.

My bike came with an NHSP #D8TC. This cross referenced to an NGK #D8EA and a Champion # RA6HC.

I went with the Champion, mainly because it was on the shelf at my local WalMart. I haven't really noticed much change, except maybe the bike starts a little easier.

I found the following website which is great for cross referencing plugs:

I have the NGK, but I changed it and the oil and dropped the clip on the carb needle all at the same time.

Hard to say if it changed anything.

My 07 GY-5 came with the NGK D8EA, if that means anything.

It means that either the chinese spent an extra 3 cents or your dealer prepped it with one.
