What is the difference between cr7hsa and cr8e ngk plugs The manual says the cr7hsa first then later says cr8e is the preferred. I could only source the cr7hsa. Thanks

The 7hsa is a slightly hotter plug than the cr8e I believe,,atleast thats the way all other NGK plugs are rated,,if the outside temp gets really cold or you have trouble burning all the fuel efficiently you can stay with a hotter burning plug.Guess they want hotter for break in to help set the rings,,Im not sure why,,a motor will run hotter before its broke in as it is,,not really necessary to run a hot plug during break in IMO.

So would that make the cr7hsa a better plug to use? Burning fuel more efficient?

I just run a NGK CR7HIX in my 150,I use it all spring,summer and fall with no problems,,if you can get Iridium they last so much longer...if your scooter runs fine with the after you switch to the 7 series just keep an eye on how it runs,,if it runs too hot switch back to the 8,,I think you will be fine with a 7.
Too answer your question is hard,,every motor runs a little different,,if you where going to up jet and do a performance pipe,,more fuel would be dumping into the combustion chamber so a 7 might be the way to go,,a little hotter spark helps ignite that air/fuel just a bit faster.

So checked the 7 is shorter than the 8 so rather stick with what's in at the moment. Just be a typo in the manual. Used the cr8e.
