GFB Posted February 9, 2007 Report Posted February 9, 2007 Which is the recommended plug? What's the big difference between the projected tip and resistor type plugs? Quote
Washburn Posted February 9, 2007 Report Posted February 9, 2007 bR8ES is what they recomend on 90 and up Banshees last time I went to the yamaha Dealer B8ES for earlyer modles. That rite there is yet another reason Yamaha dealers are retarded. They are the same plug but the R is the resistor plug and it doesnt give as good of a spark and unless your running a Radio on your Banshee you dont need it. B8ES is what I recomend. Quote
Bansh-eman Posted February 9, 2007 Report Posted February 9, 2007 what you dont run a amped radio and a plasma tv on your bike? Quote
Washburn Posted February 9, 2007 Report Posted February 9, 2007 You know I thought about it I just dident want my Banshee to be loud and noisy Quote

If you have a Dyna ignition, you also have to run a resistor plug. Quote
RagunCajun Posted February 9, 2007 Report Posted February 9, 2007 I run the NGK's that come in the yellow box that are about $2.25 a plug. I used to get the NGK's in the red box for about $7 a plug but i heard they dont last. I figure since the cheap yellow box ones work great, no need for anything else. :thumbsup: Quote
dajogejr Posted February 9, 2007 Report Posted February 9, 2007 If you have a Dyna ignition, you also have to run a resistor plug. Dyna RECOMMENDS you run a resistor. Nology recommends you don't with their hotwires. I've read several cases of people that have BOTH and have run either, R's or not. I personally run BR8ES, and will switch to 9's on alky... Quote

Simple... My Dyna Costs almost 300 bucks. My Nology was half that. So....if something is gonna fry, I'd rather have it be the cheaper.... However, once I get a cable and CD to program my dyna, not only will I be programming my own curves on a dyno, I'll also be playing with different plugs, gaps, etc...too. Quote

dawarriorman Posted February 9, 2007 Report Posted February 9, 2007 As far as a resistor plug not giving as good of a spark, theres no evidence of that. The only thing a higher resistance will do is lower the voltage. The current (amperage) will be the exact same. As long as you have enough voltage to jump the gap of the spark plug, thats really all you need, its the current that determines how hot of a spark you have. Voltage is set by the gap of the plug, only the voltage necessary to jump the gap is used. Think of those igniters in electric butane lighters. Any of you ever played with one? The spark will jump 1/4" or so, and it gives you a good little pop, nothing big though. Now a spark plug jumps less distance than that, so uses less voltage, but it will pop the hell out of you. Thats the current, the amperage doing that. A resistor plug (resistor in a circuit, whatever) doesn't change the current one bit. Quote
FireHead Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 It should be noted that you won't see a performance gain between any of the plugs assuming all the components are set up properly and are in good condition. :thumbsup: Quote
