gurny Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 I run ngk plugs now but was wondering if anyone runs anything better? Like splitfire or bosch. Because I can t find them anywhere. Quote
boonman Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 I would like to try Bosch. I run them in the truck..... But for rightn ow, I have a box of NGK's, that I keep for my friends. because for some reason, I don't foul plugs.... Quote
raxen Posted November 19, 2003 Report Posted November 19, 2003 I have tried several brands and have had the best luck with NGK. Quote
2001SSTBanshee Posted November 19, 2003 Report Posted November 19, 2003 My theory on splitfire plugs: Electricity will travel the shortest distance right? So if one tip is a teeny tiny bit closer than the other one all the spark will take that route. Plus spark plugs dont really generate spark, the "spark" just kinda runs through it. The spark is made by the stator and pulse generator, right?? So how is a high dollar spark plug gonna make "better spark" Just MY thoery, correct me if Im wrong. Quote
SICK BOY Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 I tried Splitfires in my motorcycle and I couldn't tell a difference at all.The only difference I really saw was I that I paid almost 3 times more for them. Quote
Stylemaster Posted November 21, 2003 Report Posted November 21, 2003 NGK 8's or 9's. but if you really want to waste your money on the "high performance" plugs you can get them at wal-mart. but for the price you pay for em you can get a box of 10 from parts unlimited or dennis kirk for around the same price. by the way i dont have the plug fouling problem either, just my friends haha Quote
Leadfoot350 Posted November 21, 2003 Report Posted November 21, 2003 Change your plugs often. I had a plug crack off the tip and then the porciline peice came off and trashed the cylinders. They are cheap too. Quote
frocashmoney24 Posted November 21, 2003 Report Posted November 21, 2003 never heard of that happening before Quote
boonman Posted November 21, 2003 Report Posted November 21, 2003 An old Ranger I had, the porcelain blew out of the hex portion of the plug. The hex was still in the head, and the porcelain still in the wire. I ran the truck for 3 days like that. Hellacious noise. I thought I blew the head gasket to the moon, but it didn't burn any oil or coolant, and I couldn't pinpoint it... i finally did. It was a champion plug BTW.. Quote
tonsster Posted November 21, 2003 Report Posted November 21, 2003 what do you guys gap your b8es plugs at? Quote
bronco91shee Posted November 21, 2003 Report Posted November 21, 2003 Hey guys, i used to foul out plugs frequently. But my brother works at a yamaha dealer and he said he had a fix. He knows some racers and they run NGK gold or something. I bouth them, and have run them for 5 months now, they r the best. they wre like 5$ a piece, but well worth it since i dont have to carry a box of them anymore just to go riding. Just my input. Peace out. Quote
wheeleymaster99 Posted November 21, 2003 Report Posted November 21, 2003 i use B8ES and gap them at 40 and they work but i would like to klnow some other sizes to gap to Quote
