Trying to find one using Google, Google Earth, Facebook, etc is a real pain.

All I want is a spark plug which seems to be as rare as rocking horse poo.

Type NGK CR7E or number 4578.

 

I think most of the Yamaha dealers in Phuket have closed. The two that I bought bikes from (Patong and Phuket Town) are gone.

 

You may be able to find an equivalent replacement for your CR7E (you may just need to re-set the gap)  - check here: https://www.sparkplug-crossreference.com/convert/ngk_pn/cr7e

 

Yup there is a big yamaha scooter and big bike dealer on the left side about 300m before the heroines monument.

One in Kata near Wat Kata. 36 Patak Road.

You used Google?

Try putting the following words into Google:-  yamaha motorcycles phuket

 

Lots of results with maps, too.

You asked for a Yamaha dealer. I gave you an answer. What's your point?

I know the one I used to go to in Chao Fah East just north of "Phuket Pool Tables" closed years ago. And one in Patak road, Kata-Karon near sois 2 & 3 was easy to find using Goggle Earth, but the other 2 in Phuket Town (in Phuket Road and in Thepkrasattri road) not so easy.

 

Anyway, I eventually found my spark plug wrench so managed to get it out. It was covered in carbon so I cleaned it with a wire brush, emery paper and petrol, put it back all nice and shiny and "Hey presto!"... zilch. Didn't even cough once.

 

So I gave up and got the guy from the motorbike shop at the end of the soi to take it away in his sam-lor. Life's too short...

Thepkrassatri road one is coming from town just before the heroine's monument.

Yes, I found that one during my Googling, Google Earthing and Facebooking phase. But as I managed to get the spark plug out, clean it and put it back without any effect, I didn't bother going there for a new plug! The problem is likely to be fuel mixture related.

OK, I just found that one (Google Earth) - nice and big with decent parking for pickups, unlike the one in town, which is this one: Namsaeng Motorcycle 1/12 Thepkrasattri Road. 

 

I'll make a note of that one (Ruampong Motor Co.) and may ride my Nouvo up there for a decent service once the local boys have got it going.
