resistor plugs

[ericsbandit]

Is there any harm in using non-resistor plugs? I went to the auto parts store and picked up some BR8ES plugs, but they are not the resistor style. What is the difference?

No harm

Resistor plugs are used in cars for radios. if they are not resistor's then it will mess up the radio. For any othe ruse..it doesnt matter

I thought the "R" in BR8E stood for resistor?

OK.... B"R"=Resistor.... and YES it can effect the CDI's in some bikes. I would say if it calls for it... use it. It's not worth the $$$ to replace the CDI.
Hope this helps!

BR8ES = Resistor Plug
B8ES = Non-resistor Plug

Never had a problem running the B8ES in my KDX.

It's not the resistor part that is making your plug tan.... it's the 8 part that is... You are running a hotter plug. (just wanted to clearify that) :)

And of course we all know that a hotter plug may only mask jetting issues, right?

Check this for some input on resistor plugs.

Since just about everything I know someone has told me, I'll extend my usual "check out this thread"!
