NGK 95134 Iridium IX Spark Plug (CPR8EAIX-9) for Honda H’ness CB350 / CB350RS
Precision-Built Iridium IX Spark Plug for Honda CB350 Platform
The NGK CPR8EAIX-9 Iridium IX spark plug is specified for Honda’s 350cc platform, including the H’ness CB350 and CB350RS. Built with NGK’s fine-wire iridium electrode design, this plug is engineered to deliver consistent ignition performance under standard riding conditions.
At the core is a 0.6 mm iridium centre electrode, designed to maintain stable spark characteristics across repeated heat cycles. Compared to conventional nickel plugs, iridium construction helps retain electrode shape over time, supporting consistent combustion behaviour during regular use.
What This Means in Real Riding Conditions
In practical terms, a stable spark contributes to:
- Smoother idle characteristics
- Cleaner combustion cycles
- Predictable throttle response
These are not performance modifications, but refinements in how the engine operates within its designed parameters.
Built for Daily Use, Not Just Specs Sheets
The CB350 platform is known for refinement-focused riding. This plug aligns with that intent:
- Maintains ignition consistency in city traffic and touring conditions
- Designed to resist carbon fouling under normal usage
- Handles temperature variation during stop-go and highway riding
It’s a reliability-focused component — not a tuning part.
Specification-Driven Fitment
This spark plug should only be used where CPR8EAIX-9 is specified by Honda.
Confirmed Fitment:
- Honda H’ness CB350
- Honda CB350RS
Compatibility is strictly based on spark plug specification — not engine size similarity.
