okie bro.

I like to go for this mode, but right now li'l confused as to which model as well as the single electrode system on NGK Iridium IX (Bosch has twin).

Waiting for some advice, especially from lijok

There will be a bit smoothness in the revs and the engine will run cooler with the
NGK R CR7E IX iridium plug.

But there won't be any noticeable change in performance.Yes the bike will start quickly and it might give a bit more on the avg.

The bigger benefit which will have on the RTR will be that the NGK CR7E series of plugs will be colder than the stock twin electrode one.That's because of the protruding center electrode of the Bosch ,were as the NGK R CR7E series of plugs have a center electrode which sits flush.So yes it will make the engine run colder in higher revs,which is a good thing,especially while touring.

Which is better? from what i know and seen NGK CR7E being a colder plug certainly is a better option for those who love to rip their rides.There will be a very slight(hardly noticeable) drop in initial pick-up though.

I have used from NGK R CPR8EA ,Bosch twin electrodeRTR(both hotter),NGK R CR7E(stock) IX(iridium too),NGK R CR8E and to the coldest on our bikes ,the NGK R CR9E. All these plug's performance varies noticeably on a single machine while keeping all the parameters same,except maybe weather(which does play a huge role for carbed bikes)At present my bike's on NGK R CR9E ,which is colder and hence suitable for my modified bike with RTR 180 TCI ignition,set to run on advance curve only.
Try out the NGK R CR7E GP,the platinum electrode one,it's cheaper and good too.

This is cool man, like we (my bro is right beside me now

) are amazed at the list of spark plugs you've tried and tested. Glad that you found the best one for you.

For me, the Iridium electrode would be li'l better than Platinum right? I love my bike so much, so no prob to shell out that extra money

My pal who owns a P200 changed to NGK Iridium lately and he had to spend 2500-3000 INR cos of the Twin spark setup. Compared to Pulsar's it ain't that costly for RTR's.

Do you recommend splitfire cables too? Just curious, so asking...

NGK/NTK comes with their own wires too and they i think are better.I have not seen the rally bikes/Race bikes prepared by ZEN TVS running on split fire cables and nor have they recommended it to my bike either.So i don't know about it.

The truth is bro,that no matter how much we spend on such things,there won't be any difference in performance which is tangible.That is there will be no difference in performance until serious engine works/tuning is done.So don't go wasting too much of your money on cables,plugs etc.

Hi guys,once again i am in a problem

Today,when i started the bike with the gears engaged,it didn't respond.After that i switched the engine kill switch on/off many times and sometime the bike started with the gears engaged and sometimes it didn't.

The self start fires instantly when the bike is in neutral.Please help me guys

**Rtrlover83** · 08-13-2011, 11:41 PM

@gixxer_junkie_m
Every point gladly accepted bro

Anways, would be going for NGK Iridium

Btw, i made a typo as to the cost of NGK for my pal. It was between 2500-3000.

**Rtrlover83** · 08-13-2011, 11:50 PM

@gixxer_junkie_m
So, can i ask for cable by NGK itself (like you've recommended) when i buy the plug? Are they available like the plugs are in the market?

No from what i know,their wire sets aren't made available in india yet and i'd advise you not to buy the so called "imported" NGK/NTK ones either.If someone you know coming from outside can get you those,then go for em.

Thanks for the update

So, Split fire's ain't that best and original NGK cables hard to find...

Sorry, if i am pestering you, but is there any prob if i use the NGK R CR7E IX Iridium plug alone?

No prob, bro,we're here to help each other

No problem what so ever in using em alone!!

These are the same plugs used on SBK's ,for example the GSXR1000 comes with NGK R CR9E IX in stock.The flush center electrode NGK plugs like the CR7E/8E/9E series are the ones used on liter class SBK's.

Wait some more time since already the spark plugs for SBK's are here from NGK,they'll bring their cables too.

Phew,

... Thanks, man.

The info about the use of these in Super Bike's, (especially the Gixxer 1000) really gave me some kicks bro, Wow...

P.S.
I have noticed the NGK logo on photo's of Honda's NSR 500 (2 stroke 500CC V4, OMG!

) the most successful GP bike in history, 1984-2002. Yes, this product is indeed something really worth to look at for every enthusiast.
