    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

hi all sure your are all tired of plug questions, am just not sure if there are any variations between british and American models... when put plugs in at beginning of summer put in dr8es, but don't need the resistance in the plug, as I have since found out. if you could let me know if d8ea the best be appreciated! cheers.
 
The plug caps themselves have resistance (anywhere from 5k ohms to 10k ohms each cap), so spark plug doesn't need it.
 
Thanks for that...which plugs please? Just read one old post that said the d8ea plugs didn't fit 750,so confused..if someone could clarify be appreciated!

But check that you have resistors in your plugs, a PO might have removed them. (I removed them on my 850 because they were burnt to a crisp.) If so, then you should use the resistor-enabled spark plugs.

There are multiple generations of 750, the first generation 8-valves used B8ES, the second (and third?) gen (16 valves) used D8EA. You have a second-gen.

In any case, your service manual will tell you for sure.
 
Thanks Charles,is there an easy way to check if resistor in plug lead? Maybe a step by step link?! May have to replace the leads,so be good to know the ins and outs,never done before ..thanks again
 
NGK D8EA #2120 is all I use in my bike. Did use the Split Fires for a few years, though can't get those any longer.
 
Thanks all for info,will go for the d8ea's,and fit new caps. Good night from Scotland ��
