"Super" spark plugs, any experience with them on the KDX?

I have one in right now... no difference from a BR8ES.

no downside (besides cost?)
what are you gaping it?
Thanks!

Never tried an E3
Tried the Iridiums, they work great in the Vstrom, get a good 20,000 or more but the one I tried on the KDX fouled within a few months
I never even check the gap
Just run a BR8ES and forget about it

BR8ES. A more expensive plug has no benefit in the KDX as far as I've been able to tell.

Agreed.

I would stay away from the EG (gold) plugs. The ones I have had fouled often.
I bought a new KX500 that came with them (2 plugs) and didn't last a week.
I had a plug foul in an '87 KDX 200 last night and when I pulled it out it was an EG. Put in an 8ES and fired right up. Threw the EG away.

I've seen posts on here that the eg is a finer wire plug and will slightly increase bottom end due to better sparking ability. I was thinking about trying one, but now I'm a bit confused about the "gold" part. I don't know if you're talking about the same plug as the other members? Thanks for your feeedback.

Here is a link to the specs from NGK.

The "G" is a finer nickel electrode. NGK claims that they are more resistant to fouling, but my experience is the opposite. They are also twice the price of an "S".
If you google them, you will find others that have problems with them cold fouling.

Your 2 stroke is not going to appreciate a fine wire electrode plug. We're burning more than just gas here.juliend wrote:BR8ES. A more expensive plug has no benefit in the KDX as far as I've been able to tell.

Thanks for the feedback...I've seen in the past where carvr and bradf recommended them, so I was just wondering b/c my plug has been in the bike for a while and I'm about to change it. I'll just stick with the es.
thanks,
