sparkplug for 96 cr125

[wildmanmike]

what is a good sparkplug for a 96 cr125?....what namebrand....and which plug and the gap setting?...thanks.

NGK BR8EXV is a good one.... B8EG will do good too ( a little cheaper) - I think the gap is 020" to .024"

a b9es is what u need. an 8 is 2 hot im pretty sure. also dont waste ur $ on the ev or eg goofy plugs.the make no difference and cost 3x as much

They dont have them at any wal-marts near me, or auto stores. The spark plugs for dirtbikes are a high quality spark plug or something so you need to get them at motorcycle store or someplace like that, they might have them at auto-zone but i'm not sure. IMO.

First off stick with a resistor plug (example: BR9ES). Going to a 8 heat range plug will not hurt your bike at all if you use it for the type of riding you do (low rpm trail riding). A 9 heat range is only good if you race or are doing alot of wide open high rpm riding. Trail riding with a 9 will cause excessive plug fouling or if not jetted correctly for it. Also running a expensive EG or EV will help if your bike is older cause the EG, EV plugs require less work to fire the plug (longer stator/cdi life.)

i bought some ngk b8es plugs and they work great...i ride alot of trail and the hotter plug eliminates the plug fouling...thanks for the help.

i must have missed that he is riding trails low rpm riding. from my and my friends experience w/ the br ev eg plugs they just foul up quicker from what ive seen
