What is the difference between the NGK BR8EG plug and the BR9EG plug. Currently, a BR8EG plug is in my CR125 (thats the plug that was in it when I bought it). I checked NGK's website and they suggested the BR9EG plug. Is the BR8EG a "hotter" plug. If so, how woulg this affect the performance.
125's usually take a "9" heatrange plug and 250's usually take an "8" heat range plug. BR8EG is a "hotter" plug than a BR9EG. Using a "hotter" plug than recomended can cause increased combustion chamber temperatures. This may cause melting of the spark plug electrode and/or piston.
