I have seen posts on here about the correct spark plug size and gap. <br /><br />On the NGK search site, it lists the proper plug to use is D8HA gapped at .028<br /><br />Everything else on here says NGK D8HS gapped at .018<br /><br />Which is correct?

There was not one on the bike when I got it. <br /><br />I replaced the battery. Apparently, one of the cells was bad.<br /><br />Basically what they...
