Stinger Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 which one, B8es, or BR8es... 384789[/snapback] B8ES is stock and is fine. The "R" doesn't mean it's a race plug or anything, just that it won't screw up your radio's reception Quote
hamuel Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 The "R" plug useless unless your going around with a computer control ignistion or anything with a cdi box or anything computerized. a normal plug could by chance affect your cdi and cause misfiring and a few other things. In general yah don't need to use them but there are condistion where it's a good idea. Quote
Dark Ranger Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 The 'R' is for 'Resistor' and it's meant to cut down interference. It won't do much for you either way, but if you drive near a residential area they are a good idea. We (ATVer's and bikers) get a bad enough rap without screwing up people's TV's and radios. I always use BR8ES. Quote

papa_smurf49319 Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 i ride by my house and residential areas with b8es and no problems Quote
Dark Ranger Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 U sayn it will mess up radio signals???????????????????????? 384943[/snapback] Yep, that's what I'm saying. Here's what the NGK site says in their FAQ: Q: When should I use a resistor spark plug? A: NGK "R" or resistor spark plugs use a 5k ohm ceramic resistor in the spark plug to suppress ignition noise generated during sparking. NGK strongly recommends using resistor spark plugs in any vehicle that uses on-board computer systems to monitor or control engine performance. This is because resistor spark plugs reduce electromagnetic interference with on-board electronics. They are also recommended on any vehicle that has other on-board electronic systems such as engine-management computers, two-way radios, GPS systems, depth finders or whenever recommended by the manufacturer. In fact, using a non-resistor plug in certain applications can actually cause the engine to suffer undesirable side effects such as an erratic idle, high-rpm misfire, engine run-on, power drop off at certain rpm levels and abnormal combustion.

super88_banshee Posted June 24, 2005 Report Posted June 24, 2005 What's nuts about it? Makes perfect sense to me. 385344[/snapback] Im with you, that was plain as day Quote
compose2 Posted June 25, 2005 Report Posted June 25, 2005 i use a br8es. the only reason i use a resistor plug is because i have the dynatek fs ignition. that ignition specifically requires resistor plugs. before i bought that ignition i just used the b8es plug Quote
BradleyGZ Posted August 28, 2005 Report Posted August 28, 2005 I got an 04 banshee and it came stock with the BR8ES. I went back to the dealer and bought some plugs for it and they didnt have the BR8ES all they had was B8ES. I put those in and took them back out 5min later. The throttle response was noticbly slower and i just didnt like them. So I put the old ones back in(BR8ES) and have had them in now for almost 2 years. I have right now an all stock banshee, haven't modified anything yet. Quote
MDS2106 Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 (edited) I resistor plug helps to reduce[ onboard] noise.Like cutting down on the infamous motor wine on car stereos, cb radios on board tvs and and many more auto accessories.But driving by someones house and affecting their tv or stereo because you don't have a resistor plug.To that I call BULLSHIT..If I am wrong I am wrong but I still say BULLSHIT.
