I am going to purchase a People 250, Ahead of time I am trying to find numbers to NGK Iridium spark plug for this scooter,NGK only lists the Kymco Venox model- a CR8EIX Iridium ( Iridium plugs are great) and I assume that the 250 engine has an oil filter, is it strictly an OEM part? I tried to down load the owners manual else where in this forum, but I have dial-up and it will probably take a week to down load any information. The Kymco shop that I am going to purchase from does not carry any Iridium spark plugs of NGK or ND. Also on another forum a few wrote in about the People 250 overheating. Isolated incident? any iformation you care to share would be great. I have read the road tests else where in this forum, sounds like a great machine. Thanks

I am answering my own question here, just so others will know. The People 250 has a NGK DPR7EA-9 spark plug (2008) model. the previous year models may have the same. This engine does not have a cartridge or screw-on oil filter, is has a screen that needs to be cleaned at each oil change. I know honda and others have used this set-up in the past on small engines. After I get to download a parts manual I find out where it's at ( I thinkthe screen is behind a chrome cover with (3) bolts, right above the engine oil dipstick).
I have seen a web sight for a parts manual else where in this forum-but I have dial up and the down load is 750+ meg. I am going to look up the NGK web sight to find the number for the Iridium spark plug-if available.

Save your money. I just changed my standard plug after a little over 15,000 km.
I have a service manual. I'll make you a copy on a disk if you send me a blank and a SSAE. Email me at geezerbob39@yahoo.com if you want it.

Iridum plugs only last longer..They DO NOT perform better and this has been backed up by independent testing many times ..Google it if you must... They do provide a less frequent replacement cycle..Spark plug inspection and/or replacement is a good thing..Its a window to the "SOUL" of your bikes engine..Spark plug color/condition tells a whole lot..So If you are going to unscrew the plug to inspect its condition...you might as well replace it with a new one..
If your the kind of rider who only does maintanace when the machine breaks down or runs poorly...Just disregard my whole statement... And Yall know who you are...lol ;)

I have replaced spark plug after 11.000 kms on Agility 125. Regular NGK.
The spark plug looked like new, no deposits, the electrodes were not worn.
