spark plug

[stephen12091985]

went to the auto part store to get a plug and they didnt have any b8es.is a br9es ok to use?

 

[gscx1]

It is fine, but dont use different range spark plugs to fix jetting, they are meant for temp. variations and riding conditions

 

[stephen12091985]

no its not to fix nothin with jetting,i got it cuz they were all out of b8es

 

[gscx1]

I know, i was telling you for future reference

 

[stephen12091985]

is it gonna mess the jetting up?

 

[gscx1]

No, i am just saying that if the jetting is messed up then dont try to fix it with hotter or colder plugs, like some people do.

ok.whats hotter and colder plugs for?

ok.whats hotter and colder plugs for?

the heat range on a plug refers to how hot the plug accually gets..
a hotter plug will burn off build up on the spark plug to prevent fouling..
but if you get a plug thats too hot and you ride on a hot day that hot plug will be a hotspot for preignition.
the use of a colder plug is for when you start getting into some higher performance like with higher compression and so on..
because the engine is accually running hotter you want a colder plug to help pull heat away from the engine..
basicly you want to run the coldest plug you can get away with, without fouling out the plug..

oh yeah and that br9es is a colder plug then the b8es.

you say you use b8es? yamaha of camphill told me to use br8es is this correct?

all the r in br8es stands for is resisted which means you will not interfere with someone elses radio or tv when your riding

 

[nofxfan125]

Damn, I was really hoping to jam the 2 way radios out in the middle of the woods where I ride.

 

[nofxfan125]

So you're saying the resistor plug does nothing at all? And by the way, That was some nice info.

well it will keep from your tv getting fuzzy, and you wont get any interference on your phone....
so no performance advanage at all...

if your buying ngk plugs from advanced auto, there is a 1 year replacement warranty. if you fouled a plug, return it for a replacment. just a hint. i didnt believe it when i 1st heard it, then i checked into it. its true.

also somalia is correct on the plugs. b8es and br8es are the same except the br8es are resistor plugs. no advantage, just a resistor..sometimes you'll find a fickle bike that runs better with an 'r' plug. happens with banshees sometimes. but usually makes no difference.
