Recommended spark plugs? Oil?

Post by Kurt »

I'm back. Still have the 907 on the lift, tank is off now.

Spark plug recommendation? What's your preference? Champion RA6HC are currently installed. I found a chart on line that specified RA4HC.

Oil recommendation? Previous owner claims to have used Motul syn blend 15-40.

Moderate touring use expected, kind of like the way I ride my vintage Triumph. I have the Monster if I want to thrash something.

Thanks again,
- Kurt

RA4HC according to manual.
Any good quality fully synthetic oil is recommended.

Me too. Perfect combo.... :thumbup:

Thanks, but how do you really feel about Champions? ;)

Will go with NGK Iridium.

And probably Mobile 1.

sparks: NGK DPR8EA9
oil: VAlvoline 20W50 Racing, very good synthetic. As this Duc has only the big end as a plain bearing, the others like a more "thicker" olio.
