Spark Plugs

[HydBiker]

that's in the original spark plugs thread here - http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/universa...ark-plugs.html

the title confused me... both are named the same.

I cannot justify technically what I am telling here but I think you can safely stick to your GPower and the one you are using should not have given way at 10K KMs. Normal plugs' recommended cycle is about 10K KMs and Platinum (GPower) plugs last very long. Check the plug electrode and ground for any tapering ro deformation... to decide on the change.

that's what i had on my mind untill a jack @#^ in the castrol bike zone removed the plug and scraped the entire tip,etc with carbon paper... the ngk dealer told me never to touch the tip and also never to adjust the gap...
don't know the damage caused,so thought of replacing it...

@ Dogg: why dont u try NGK Iridium IX, even i m going to try that in my bike next month.

there is no ngk for the uni engine(also for the extreme and hunk)...
the only honda that has an IX is the activa...
bought one for my friend for ~420/-...

There's no Iridium plug for the Uni/Hunk/CBZ-X/Acheiver/FZ-16.

That is not true. Go for a plug only if it matches the model number.

Anyone tried the Bosch twin-electrode spark plug that fares for around 100 bucks? It claims the following:

BOSCH Super: twin electrode for 2 wheelers

• Increased ignition reliability throughout the spark plug’s entire service life
• Improved cold-start characteristics
• Low ignition-voltage requirement
• Self-cleaning effects in case of sooting
• Two ground electrodes increase the plug’s service life

Which is the best spark plug for my Fiero F2 which has run 53K kms. NGK or Bosch new spark plug?

@ novice: u want it for which bike?

I want it for My FZ.

That is not true. Go for a plug only if it matches the model number.

Bro....which model number???

[HydBiker]

I want it for My FZ.



Bro....which model number???

Spark Plug model number. Please refer to your manual. It would be written as NGK CPR8EA-9. You can get a GPower (Platinum) plug of the same spec - NGK CPR8EAGP-9 (MRP RS 200). There is no Iridium IX plug for this spec.

You can get a regular NGK (Nickel) plug - CR7E (~Rs 75) or a GPower plug - CR7EGP (~Rs 130). An Iridium IX - CR7EIX is also available ar Rs 550 but I believe the GPower is good enuff. Or you may try the Bosch twin electrode plug that TVS gives for the RTR's. It is the same spec for Fiero too. My pick is the GPower.
