DPR9EA9 are correct plugs
Do NOT run your bike until you check - sounds like plugs are too long

Sounds a bit odd especially the clutch bit??? As far as the pop maybe a lead not on properly or damaged during the process of the plug change. Maybe a plug not properly seated but unlikely. Did you do any other things to the bike at the same time??

Like Pete says ...the plugs have to be the right ones!!!

AT LEAST ...check the old ones with the new ones to see if they are the same length ...

"Did you put them in wrong" ???
....well if you have the threaded end facing upwards!! you have made an error !!!!

If it's not running on all the cylinders - maybe you've crossed the plug wires.........?????????

I think crossing the plug wires would probably be my bet, too...
I'll also be behind the couch..




Edit: I went back and re-read. So it starts and runs?
I wouldn't think it would be running with crossed wires?
