Me, I like the inexpensive ones. Who cares about the .001 extra horsepower an iridium plug might make _IF_ you have your bike tuned in the first place.
Please tell me we're not going to start talking about which chain/lube combination / bearings / transmission oil provide the best horsepower.
Tune the carb, set the suspension, keep her maintained, and ride the piss out of her.

Ebay? You can't pick those up at your local auto parts store? I never have a problem walking and picking up 4 or 8 BR8EG's.aloha450x wrote:i just read a thread over on cr500riders. to me it seems that each bike likes different plugs. it's like these things have souls. i learn something new every day. i ordered a pack of 4 br8eg's off ebay
Murrays or Advance Auto will have 'em, too. Sometimes the parts counter person has to spend some quality time cross referencing numbers, but it's not too difficult.
I have a B8ES in mine, because it's cheap, and I haven't had any fouling issues yet either. I'm sure the jetting isn't perfect, but if it runs, doesn't foul plugs, and makes power, why mess with it?

Hallelujah Brother Mojo.....
Please direct all loser questions here:

My bike runs just fine with an BR8ES.
They don't stock the EG at my local supplier.
How long (typically) should a plug last if the motor is tuned (Jetted) correctly?
I've not had to change one yet and I've had the bike for around a year now.
