Dear Mr. Know-it-all,
The spark plug suzuki recomends for my 2001 RM125, an r6918b-8, cost 20 bucks. i've been running a br8es without any problems.what is the difference in these plugs and what can possibly justify charging twenty dollars for a spark plug? Thaks for your time.

A. Unfortunately, the recommended plug works best with the RM125. Yes, you can get away with the BR8ES but your performance suffers slightly. I talked with Cole Gress the Amateur Support Manager at Suzuki and he told me that the higher priced plug emits stronger spark with a longer duration and that it needed for optimum power on the RM125. Sorry.
Now- does a spark plug regulate the amount of spark, or does the ignition? I know plug gap & heat range play a part, but not sure if a different aftermarket NGK or Champion couldn't fit the bill here. I remember discussions on acceptable alternatives to the Suzuki plug, but nothing like this that claims the stocker is best. Mr Know-it-all didn't know the answer (ha!), but I don't doubt for a second that I'll get it here.
