Good idea. Thanks Randy.

It's amazing how proud some dealers are of the parts they sell
Last part I bought at the dealer was a $22 oil filter. I understand that they need to make a buck, but some of their mark ups are just crazy. Never thought I'd ever see a spark plug that cost more than an aircraft spark plug, but now I have!
RE: Plugged up - the Ferret - 09-30-2016
I think suggested retail on the plug is in the $19.95 range. That dealer is truly robbing people.
RE: Plugged up - Lord Popgun - 09-30-2016
Ferret is correct. I paid about $20 each for plugs. Minus a 10% discount that I get for buying a bike there.
RE: Plugged up - the Ferret - 09-30-2016
BTW what makes these plugs special and expensive is the S nomenclature on the plug which stands for "Special washer". The sealing washer on these is thinner and smaller in diameter than the one on the std NGK LMAR8A-9 plug (no S) which can be bought for $10 each.

Those were Canadian prices too, so one Canadian dollar is worth .75 US. I returned them today and ordered a set from JEGs for 100 less.
RE: Plugged up - kmoney_imp - 10-01-2016
Lots of the Canadian dealers parts pricing here seems way put of wack. I can only imagine that 3/4 or more of their phone calls end with the awkward "umm yeah, I'm going to call around and get back to you."
I've never found an OEM part that wasn't at least 60+% cheaper online.

Amazon has these plugs for $9.97 each with free shipping.
