Short Spark Plug

Post by EastTexas2Stroker »

Guys: Can someone tell me the make and number of the short sparkplug I have seen on here. It was supposed to cost around 40 bucks and I need a shorter plug to put on a different gas tank (IMS 4 gallon). If someone could let me know that would be great. I am running GSS raceport top end and a 2001 CR500R engine in a 2006 CLR450R.

br8ecm is shorter than normal, but theres the really short one too?
is there a br8ecm but not a resistor plug????
the 450 will have less power and will be harder to start, and will be heavier, but to make up for it it will require more maintenance.

You want an r7282 plug and a trs1225 cap. Go to summitracing .com or redlinepowersports.com for info or to order. Shaggy gave me that info. Aussie I believe.

Cmotodad, one reason to pay so much for the very short plug is due to the IMS 4 gallon fuel tank is so damn close to the top of the plug. I know with a heat gun you can mold the tank to go around a plug, which I have done. I am running racing fuel with the race porting work I have done by Glen. One question is how dependable do you think this very short plug is as I checked with NGK and it is designated as a racing plug. I go off into the woods quite a ways and want to make sure it is highly dependable and not just for a race. Thank you for your information on Amazon, I will check it out as well.

I have had no problem with mine. I think it is an iridium plug, which should help reduce fouling and have long life. Proper jetting is a must.

we run the short plug in the gen4 bike, a regular length plug in the gen3, both with 500 engines, BUT the 2002 + 2004 cr250s we have will not run worth a dammn on the irridium :x

Thanks guys I will buy one and try it out. The bike runs great but still playing with the jetting a little and the needle combination for the best power across rpm range. It starts right up first time almost always and idles strongly. I have gone from an FMF gnarly to the Pro Circuit Works pipe and richened the fuel mixture with Castor 927 instead of the synthetic I was using. Run 115 octane fuel and Glen Howell's GSS racing porting set up with a completely rebuilt engine.Doesn't smoke at all and seems to run great. I changed it up since it had a tremendous low rpm hit and not much mid range or top end. I do a lot of trail and also fireroad riding and at my son in laws they have literally 50 miles of packed dirt roads that are built for a highway but they ran out of funding so it will be another 10 years until it is finished. I can really open the bike up on this road and that is what I love to do, go fast a let her rip. I have been away from two strokes until I decided to do this project bike and the sound brings back so many wonderful memories from when I was a young man...Maicos, Huskys and now this brute of a Honda. Doesn't get any better than that in my opinion. Course the wife thinks I am nuts and does not see the fascination. Gotta do what a man has gotta do. Thanks for the input, this site is great for learning from experienced guys, appreciate it.
