Run whatever is recommended by NGK and the factory. I have no idea what the hell monkey at NGK came up w/ the pricing and I worked at a bike shop for 5 years.

Just go to your suk dealer. I don't know if it is the same, but I imagine so as most suk sport bikes are the same filter. (for example, my B12 is the same filter as a GSX-R6 ...whatever the superceded part is to the 34E00)

The motor didn't get overhauled, so I am guessing that it would be the same.

IIRC, the B6 plug has 2 ground electrodes whereas the B12 uses the standard style single. That might explain why the 600's plugs cost more.

Oil filters are the same for all B600-B1200's.

Air Filters are the same for the 600-1200's of the same generation, but are different between generations.

As for Spark Plugs, have you tried Napa? That's where I got both Dita's and Blue's plugs from last time I changed them. Sometimes they have them in stock, periodically you'll have to wait a day. I'm sure I paid less than $10 for the iridium plugs for the 919.

I also picked up the Oil filter for the 919 at Napa. The filter for DIta is cheaper at Riverside than it is at Crappy Tire or Napa.
