spark plugs

[XXDEF1ANTXX]

ive been doing a lil research and ive seen many answers to this but what kind of plugs should i be using? right now im using bpr8es, ive also read br8es and br9es.

8's man.

i use B8ES and work fine for me, the BR8ES i have read that have resistor this to avoid interference with electronic stuff.....

[Bansh-eman]

if your running gas use br8es or b8es

[dajogejr]

B8ES or BR8ES...you bike won't notice the difference between those and a 15 dollar spark plug...

i run the br9eya and i like them

[2001Stroker]

If you look at this diagram, it shows where your heat range is supposed to be. Right in the middle of the bend of the electrode. With gas, that's where BR8ES and B8ES usually burn. TwistedSheeRida, you might want to make sure your 9's are burning in the right spot.

yo 2001stroker, i checked my plugs and that tip is cocoa brown all the way to the flat. also my left side plug was a little darker than the left a little bit different color but not bad. did a comp test both sides were even. im runnin a 260 main should i throw in like a 270?

i changed out my plugs but i still dont have a spark even though i just fixed that problem from before... this thing is really starting to frustrate me lol

Unless the plugs you had in there were serverly fouled youde still get some sort of spark and changing them out and still not getting spark you have a wireing delimea. Check around your stator and inspect throughly.

 

Every 2 stroke I ever had LT250R Banshee friends CR250 500 Another friends yz250 all used B8ES. Thats all I ever run and have ran for 15+ years. I have the BR8ES in there now cause thats all autozone had boxes of and they run 2.09 a piece there instead of 5 something at the stealership. and the resistor plugs dont make a bit of diffrence unless your friend has a radio on his DS650 and doesnt want you cutting out the signal :ermm:

the stator has an hour of riding on it, i put it in friday. it was just wierd, i was ridng and everything was fine then outta nowhere it just stopped running and i havnt got a spark outta it yet. if the stator was bad wouldnt the headlights not work? i dont wanna but i think im gonna have it profesionally fixed :sad:

[1998BansheeHD]

i had a bad stator and the headlight fluttered but other than that no spark... Check the green and red wire on the stator! Good Luck Also what kind of stator is it?

You can have lights but no spark, and vice versa. The lighting side and ignition side are separate.

before knowing otherwisei bought a ricky stator... and what should i be checking for on the wires?

[1998BansheeHD]

eh Ricky stator is junk! but o well check the green and red wire on ohms. Your ohmmeter should read between 13.7 and 20.5 Ohms. I just recently sent back my 3rd rickystator... If its still under its year warranty send it back and get another... its free just make sure u mention that u want them to pay the shipping and they will send a ups label! But if i were u id find a oem one or go with rick's stators but always good to have a spare!
