    Did you get the exact same heat range??
    If you need to keep riding the bike, you need to turn all 4 Pilot screws CCW (out) right now, a half turn to be safe.

    Tend to this quickly.

    Go to an Auto Parts Store.
    Look in the thick "Applications Catalog"
    The right section will have a Motorcycle on the Top of the page.
    Look-up Spark Plugs.
    Look-up Yamaha.
    Look-up your Bike.
    Find the right Plug.
    (XJ750's use Champion RN9YC ~ 0.032)
    Put the right Heat Range in there.

    Then, finish your Membership Registration.
    Add; Location.

    Thumbs in signature section;

    <Year> <Model> <Miles> <Stock ~ Mods>

    Otherwise we got no idea what you ride.

    Rick's right, if we knew what bike you're talking about we could ensure you have the correct plugs.

    Also, was anything else changed, other than just the plugs?
