Anyone know a NGK # for the sparkplug for the xciting 500,or another brand???  Thanks I am working on other brand oil filters for it that meet the specks.   Thanks

NGK CR8E standard or CR8EIX Premium. I will stick with NGK myself,have found it to be a good brand. Oil filter next......

My 2009 500Ri uses a CR7E plug. I'm going with a K&N KN-147 oil filter for my first oil change. It's supposed to be a high quality filter and has a handy hex nut on the bottom to make it easy to remove and replace.

When it's time to replace the one in my 09 I will go with the NGK Iridium CR7EIX as a replacement for the CR7E.  From what I have heard the Iridium will give you better performance and longevity.  Over many years of motorcycles I have found NGK hard to beat in these type of engines.  With only one cylinder I want the best I can find in there.

I used the Iridium NGK, I have been using NGK for 35 years ( giving away my age here) they are excellent  plugs. Have fitted K&N oil filter, that hex is very handy. I think the stock air filter is as good as you will get has very little flow resistance in my opinion

What mileage did you replace the original plug?

5000 miles,it was a waste the org. plug looked good. Also replaced the rear tire, it was gone at 5000 miles hope the new one lasts longer..
