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.

Thanks,
Chad

NGK's website to search for plug applications:

The short answer,

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.

You will be fine with a BR9EG, BR9E, BR9EIX, ect....

Don't forget to "read" your plugs, they can be a wealth of info.
