Time to update the RM
« Reply #30 on: May 29, 2012, 11:37:16 PM »
will a 3$ NGK not work? we run them in all of our bikes and they work just fine

 suzuki says the $30 plug is the only plug recommended for my bike , and If I run a different plug I run the risk of grenadeing my topend.  If I had to change plugs all the time I would be seriously bitching and probably buying cheap $3 plugs but It dosent foul plugs anymore after I jetted/adjusted the carb.

hmm well i haven't fouled a single plug on my 125, and i fouled 2 plugs on my yz250 because when i first got it it jetted for too lean of a gas mixture and when we jetted it for 32:1 it was perfect haven't fouled one since, all on 3$ NGK plugs

whats the part number?

basically the gimmick going right now is the iridium does not conduct better, but is stronger, therefore the electrode can be smaller, which means less resistance.  it's just more expensive.  the gimmick with platinum is that it has a cleaning property when charged.  good for cars these days that have the engine up under the dashboard.  but the best conductor is still copper as far as electrode material.

i suppose you could grab a couple copper ones to get the thing jetted, then run the 30 dollar iridium one once everything is sorted.  that's probably what i'd do.

I used to run standard BR8's in my 01 rm250 with no problems.
Don't know if the 03 is different

If you don't fall off you are not going hard enough

no the rm125 had a special made plug to run with the bike. i've tried others but the bike didnt run well. i wouldnt stray from from it despite the higher cost. and as far as fouling i never had an issue even when i was slower.

 When I was jetting it I used cheap plugs and then what I got it right I put in the "special" plug . So basically what Premixed said is what I already did .  The part number is R6918b-8
