what does everyone run? also my motor has a b8es. stock is br8eg. what does the "r" stand for?

Br8eix, (Iridium)
the es plug has standard electrode, the eg has the smaller fine wire electrode (fouls less easily)
r=resistor

what does the resistor do and what are the effects of running a plug without it. I.e. b8es

It stops radio interference.

i like the iridium plug. but i like the stock plug just as good

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

fixed.

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.

The "G" is a winner....

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.

looked online at checkers. no dice and they are 3 bucks more and im in no rush. haha

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?

napa has 90% of the B series NGK's in stock here, are there Napa's in HI?

yeah we have napa buttried to search online cause im to lazy to ride my bicycle to the store. haha yes I said bicycle. don't start. lol

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.

I typically toss a plug in once a year, just because. I give my old ones to Brit, and runs them for another.

Good running 500's dont foul plugs.

people complain about the "ecm" plugs, and that is what I run and never fouled one...and I'm running a little rich...

I run the "G" plug. So far ...so good. Of course the B8ES woked fine too...

My 250 and 500 both run a br8es. I buy them for $20 a box of 10 @ Kragen. Never had a problem, and @ $2 a plug, I change them when I change my oil, every other ride, tops every 3rd ride.
