      Yamaha recommends either
      NKG BP6ES or Champion N-8Y

      Rare to find a "bad" new plug, but happens.
      Can pull offending plug, put back in wire and set plug on head.
      Crank engine to see if plug has spark.

        The gap could be off. Once or twice on my old chevy's(350 and a 454) I have forgot to set the gap on one of the 8 plugs. Also, don't use the cheapo gauges at the counter. Get a good HQ feeler guage.
