Can you use car spark plug on a motorcycle?
You use the correct spark plug that’s recommended by the manufacturer of the engine you’re fitting them to. Spark plugs are made specifically for every engine, no matter what the engine is doing. There’s no such thing as “car spark plugs” or “motorcycle spark plugs”, or “lawnmower spark plugs”.
Why do Honda Fits have 8 spark plugs?
Because it is a dual spark engine, the Honda engineers though it needed more spark to work the way they wanted it to so it got 2 plugs per cylinder. Not the only engine to use dual spark, not common but also not unusual.
Are all motorcycle spark plugs the same size?
However, they come in many different bore and volume sizes, depending on the bike and its configuration. So while the design is pretty much universal, the applications are not. Why does my motorcycle engine only start with 3 spark plugs on but not the 4 that it requires?

No, there are different thread sizes for smaller engines, and different models with different heat ranges for different applications. And there are different types of spark plugs especially for Alfa Romeo 4 cylinder twin cam engines, e.g in earlier Giulietta models (1300, 1600 and 2000).
Do I need a special socket for spark plugs?
Spark Plug Sockets
These special sockets contain rubber isolators inside intended to absorb any possible vibration within and protect the glass featured along the spark plug. Regular sockets do not contain the rubber feature and using them may result in breakage when attempting a spark plug replacement.
