    They're actually DPR9EA-9 but any old 12mm plug will do. I've got a vfr
    engine that's going away to a Longer Term Squirrel Store, but it hasn't
    got any plugs in it - so I wanted to chuck some oil in and put some
    plugs in before it goes away.

    Anyone got some old ones they don't need?

    Probably, but the cost of getting them to you would probably be more
    than cheapos from a motor factor. Why not try your nearest bike dealer?
    They've probably got loads sat in the bin. Or just use some rag with a
    bit of grease round the edge. It's not like the inside of the engine's
    airtight anyway.

    Yersh, I thought about that just as I hit send. Likely to be about £17
    each from my nearest dealer, but maybe I'll just treat the veefer to
    some new ones anyway.
    Good point.

    If they try to charge that for old ones they've thrown in the bin,
    torch the place.

    I'll have some. Probably re-usable DPR9-EA, as that's what the bandit
    took, and I never throw away used (but working) plugs

    I'll not be near them for a fortnight though, drop me an email ..

    Does anyone on the French run live near you ?

    Paul.

    Aye, Brownz. I think he's going. If you remember to take some that would
    be great.
