BR8EG plug...

[DAVE C]

Why is it that I never hear of anyone running a G-rated plug in their KDXs? I recently tried a BR8EG plug in my bike and really like the results. It makes the bike "snappier" than when I ran the BR8ES plug. Is the G-rated plug going to cause problems for me down the road? Will it require me to rebuild the top end more frequently?

Thanks.

The 'g' plug (fine wire) is a common choice.

No problems other than depleting your pocket change.

Thanks canyncarvr! I had a feeling it was fine. I don't mind spending the extra dollar every few months for the increase in performance it gives me.

I used to foul the ES often. The 7ES didn't foul but was slightly lean. So now I use the 8EG with perfect results. No fouling...perfect color. Bike runs great....in fact I've had the same one in mine now for a year and its still running great!

Jinx!!!

You should have NEVER said that out loud!!;) Make SURE you have a spare plug with you next time out!!!!!!!

Heck. I've never tried one. Think I'll go get one right now!
**edit**
Alas. No joy in mudville. I couldn't FIND a B7EG. Then was told that NGK didn't make one.....8s, but no 7s.

HaHa, jinx.

Actually the reason that I tried a BR8EG was sort of a jinx situation. I had just removed my fender bag the night before a ride. I hadn't needed it in quite some time and I usually keep a spare plug in there. Well, needless to say I fouled a plug and forgot to put one in my pocket before we left. One of my buddies had the EG plug, so I gratefully installed it. Haven't run anything but that plug since!

Dollar? The EG runs about $9.00 here and the ES is about $3.00. How much are you paying, Dave and where, I might need to mail order some.

$3.79 each at Napa auto parts. I'm pretty sure they were the same price in the Rockymountain catalog (don't quote me on it though).

Thanks Dave, I wasn't even aware that Napa carried NGK.

They are only about $4 here. Ever since my fouling days I ALWAYS carry an extra plug with me now.

No prob. 2001yz250.

PS - Can I have some of that advice you aren't using? Hehe.

What brand is the BR8EG? NGK? The only NGK spark plugs I could find for KDX is b9es(standard) b9ev( fine wire) b9evx(fine wire platinum).

br8eg is an ngk number. All the plugs you list being '9s', I presume you are looking for plugs by bike model application? An older kdx app at that?

The 'eg' series is a fine wire plug..heck, even comes in a RED racing box!

If you want a br8eg..just ask for it by name at any ngk retailer.
