If you read the owner's manual it's spelled out: Champion RG4 PHP.

Of course any equivalent will do, e.g. NGK CR7EKB.

Amazing what reading the MV Wiki can throw up...

Just curious, the Champion plug doesn't have the double ground electrode while the NGK does. Does this matter? I heard that the Piaggio works better with the the double electrode. I'm not trying to be smart, just being a parrot.

The NGK is a higher quality plug while the double electrode improves proper combustion.

Piaggio is still using the NGK plug to this day
