I hope there is a plug in it at the moment.
If not, you may have larger problems. (oxidation on the cylinder, ect)
Anyway, take the old plug out. It should have a letter/number combination on it. Take it in to Pep Boys, or any reputable auto parts store, they should be able to match it or find a comparable replacement.
It should take a 5/8 or 13/16 socket to take it out. I think there is one other common size, but it's not coming to mind.
Also, if you don't have one, grab a gapper (probably not the technical term). The one i have is a little circle, to make sure the electrode is the correct distance away. Around .30mm to .40mm should do fine.

Ah, i misunderstood the question then. No, i do not, i have a Tank Urban Sporty 150. A lot of people on here recommend the Platinum/Iridium/Unobtainium plugs, I personally prefer the plain copper ones. They are cheaper and have lower resistance. I use coppers in every motor i own, and have never had a problem with spark. Do some research and make a decision. I'm not the spark plug expert, but i know what has worked for me.
