hey ho.. the saga continues. when i sentmy bike to teh garage it had cr8e ngk plugs.... i asked for the correct ones to be fitted while he did other work.. cr8eh-9 i believe.. neways as u guys know it came back still running liem a bag of crap.. i went to check plugs to see what mixture was like.. an lo and behold my old plugs are still tehre (i paid for new ones on teh bill) so i asked the guy... some lame excuse about the cr8eh-9 not fitting... nad said hed get teh right ones... i end up with some cr7e. hotter and imo still wrong... im guessing all of you guys are using cr8eh-9 and im getting bullshitted.. pls confirm/deny.

Re: what plugs you running?
For all I know you can use NGK CR8-EH9 or CR9-EH9 on the CB400. I use the standard CR8-EH9.
Sounds like you're being bullshitted: making you pay for work that's not done
Avoid that garage!

Re: what plugs you running?
Yup, NGK CR8-EH9 plugs are in my bike. I even gave ones I had bought for cheap online to the garage to fit when I had it in for a service last year.
That's really dodgy that they charged you for new ones and didn't even change them. I definitely wouldn't be going back there if I were you. I mean who knows what other work they never bothered doing and yet charged you for.
Make sure you get your money back off them dude.

Re: what plugs you running?
As an aside, http://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; sell plugs from NGK in a Honda packet for the same price I've ever seen them on ebay (or at worse pennies more) and you can order those other odds and sods you've been meaning to get while you're about it.
