Anyone else having a hard time finding spark plugs in stock? Been searching online, tried to order from 2 different vendors that seemed to show them in stock only to have both orders canceled due to out of stock! Tried calling multiple dealers and told they're on intergalactic back order. WTF is going on? Of course it's the same plug that my '13 R1 uses, I need 8 and can't find any. I don't think there are any crossover equivalent plugs out there either.
NGK LMAR9E-J (6884)
If anyone knows of a hook up, post it up here. Thanks!

Email: sales@vividracing.com They're with VividRacing.com They dont have any themselves but the person I spoke with says their Yamaha Rep. confirmed they have some in stock and they can set you up with an order. Feel free to send them an email. |

I sent an email to Vivid, I'll see what they say. Motosport's website initially showed them to be in stock, I placed an order with them as well. But funny thing is, now after my order it says they're out of stock and they're backordered. Maybe I got the last 4? We'll see

As far as what's going on, there's been supply disruptions due to the pandemic. Luckily I'm not due for spark plugs soon.

Got them put in performed throttle body sync afterwards and she’s ready to ride again! Highly recommend Yamaha Parts Pro. Parts cost seem cheaper in comparison to like a Bike Bandit. www.yamahapartspro.com/ |

They havent even replied to my emails for over 10 days. Sucks but its my first ever problem with them. Anyone have other venders who they've recently purchased some from successfully? Im due for plugs in 500 miles |

I was also able to buy some from Partzilla a few days ago. Looks like they are becoming easier to find again.
