Hi,

Even the two official Triumph Service Manuals ('95 & '96) that I have conflict with each other. One showing DPR8EA9, and the other showing DPR9EA9, for all models.

I have a theory, and it is borne out of running a XT600 Tenere single with a DPR8EA9 fitted in summer, and a DPR7EA9 fitted in winter, for ease of starting the "thing" (or is it the other way round? - corrected, thanks WoodsieIII)!

Could it be that Triumph recommended the warmer spark plug when selling to the cooler European markets, and then recommended the cooler spark plug when it moved into the warmer US/Oz/etc... markets?

Just a thought.

Ciao,
Geoff
:wink:
