spark plugs

in my 200 ec gas gas there was a B8EGV plug in it.the bike calls for a BR8EG IN the owners manual.dunno if this will hurt iput in a BR8ES

I ditched the "R" years ago and have never fouled a plug since. R designates "resistor". I read that non-resistor plugs can possibly cause some sort of interference with the ignition. I've seen it happen on cars many years ago but never on bikes.

any plug with an 8 and without a d or p will work

br8eix, br8egv, br8eg, br8es, b8es, etc..

i run whatever i feel like buying - i've found almost no difference between the $2 and $10 plug.. (at least on the gg...)

I get same results with s plugs and my indicators don't work if I use a non resistor, Otherwise non resistor work the same. S are a quarter the price.

+1 for BR8ES

Heaps cheaper than the EG's with no notible differences.

thx guys


indicators don't work??????????????????

Plug

Just switched from a EG to a EIX. It cleaned up my minor jetting imperfections. IMO worth the $, I will continue to use the EIX

non-resistor plug can do weird things to some electronics.

My signal lights started acting up then stopped working awhile ago, roughly the same time I installed a b8es plug, I never thaught it would be because of the plug. Im going to change my plug it would be nice if it fixed my lights thats alot easier than chasing wires lol.

I have heard the same from others. Haven't tried it to see myself. I would think the smaller tip of the EIX would actually be more prone to fouling due to a reduced surface area. Might pick one up today for shizngiggles!

Less surface area is exactly why it should be less prone to fouling, theoretically. More surface area equals more parallel current paths to ground across the insulator. In practice, if your jetting is decent it doesn't make any difference at all. The only reason I run the BR8ES and not the B8ES is my ICO computer once locked up while running the non-resistor plug, otherwise I had no issues.
