What Spark Plug?

[carl]

Hi, I am just about to buy a new spark plug for my blaster. Was wondering what would be the best one i currently have a NGK 5422. Would a NGK Iridium be better? 1 Iridium Spark Plug For Yamaha YFS 200 blaster Quad on eBay (end time 10-Nov-09 20:41:38 GMT)

Cheers Carl

Ok thanks but will there be a noticable diffrence between a BR8ES and a iridum one?

thanks

i don't think you will notice anything. i put iridiums in my V8 and didn't notice squat except my wallet being lighter.

I've heard the don't foul as easy and last longer, but for the same price you could buy 4 normal plugs

I've had real good luck with the Bosch platinum equivalent
to the BR8ES (can't remember the number) Had to get them at AutoZone in a pinch when I couldn't find NGK's in that area. They have been my Shee now for 3 years.
Think they were like $2.50 each

Okay thanks for you help, I think i will just order a BR8ES

dont get those number 1 stay with the br8es or b8es those have the -11 after its a shorter shank. Not going to work . Just go to a parts store

Dont buy the br8es, buy a b8es because the R in the first one means "restricted" it will only put out what the factory made it to put out. When my mechanic redid my engine, he told me it will improve my idling and more bottom end power

spark plugs drive me nuts. lol blasters are supposed to use br8es but i've ran into problems with them on 2 of my blasters where they just sputter and backfire and die. then i threw in b8es plugs and they ran fine. wish i understood it better

It really stands for a resistor plug. The purpose for resistor plugs is to reduce radio interference.
The coil on the Blaster (and most street and dirt bikes) is designed to compensate for this resistance and will supposedly be damaged by running a non resistor plug. That being said, I'm glad that apparently (from reading these posts) this is not the case with the Blaster because a hotter spark is always better.

 

[super noober]

am i the only one that runs the BR8EG plug?

 

[Tim Lutz]

I've run the EG, EV and R series. Great for higher compression and nitrous. Fine wire and really tough porcelain around the electrode. More detonation proof.

 

[Tim Lutz]

FYI, Just looked it up. The 86-2000 Blaster calls for a non resistor plug and the 2001-2006 calls for a resistor plug. Looks like I'm getting a B8EV for my 96 next time I go parts shopping.

Saw this thread thought Id see if any one was running
NGK BR7ES. Fouled out the B8ES that was in my2001 blaster when i got it. Seemed like br7es runs better??

 

[carl]

Damn i ordered a BR8ES last night lol
*Goes back to ebay*
