    Now i'm confused... Anyone here have a 1983 Maxim 400. Trying to find the right plug to use, i've seen D8EA and BP7ES, i have no clue which to get.

    Thanx, i'll continue googling it

    The D8EA is a 12MM plug and the BP7ES is a 14mm plug they are not interchangeable.

    NGK website lists D8EA as the correct plug for a 1983 XS400

    I hate it when that happens :D

    Glad to help. Take a minute to add your bike year and model etc to your signature. Helps folks answer questions more easily.

    IIRC, the Maxim and Seca 400s have the DOHC 400 and the XS 400 is SOHC. Probably why you were seeing a disparity in plugs.
