Another thing ,i don't know whether its possible to side-gap a flush center electrode plug?, or would it help?
I have another plug of the honda unicorn NGK R CPR8EA as i am sure you know the letter 'P' in CPR stands for protruding center electrode,were as CR types have center electrode which sits flush with the plug.
The thing is i am reluctant to use the protruding plugs ,as due to higher compression and pilot jet being lean the carb gets blown off while starting the bike.I mean the carb gets literally blown off the intake manifold with a loud bang!The protruding plugs being hotter can increase this prob further as the carb gets blown off even with the coldest NGK R CR9E plug.
The carb blow out issue has been sorted out by a simple method of keeping the throttle open slightly even as the bike is kick started.
