For me it was all the old timer KDX riders that told me the 8 was the way to go. I had just gotten in the sport after an 18 year hiatus from dirt bikes. I believe KDXgarage was one of those guys along with a slew of others. I put a lot of hours (well over 1000) on my E-series bike and never fouled a plug or had any issues like hard starting, spooge, detonation, or anything else bad when running the BR8ES plugs. So, I figured they must have been right, and the plug always had that beautiful mocha color and, as they say, the proof is in the pudding. BTW, that was riding everything from hike-a-bike technical terrain to motocross and I even rode it to work daily!emmett wrote: ↑05:28 am Jun 02 2021 What made you know the 9 plug was too cold? too much carbon buildup? Wouldnt load up as quickly? I will have to get one. would i have to mess with my jetting/mixture so I'm not running to lean with the hotter plug? I dont think im nearly too lean right now, but i also dont want a hole in my cylinder!
"foreverun moto" is the cheap ebay organic pads I got after Goofaroo recommended them. Im excited to try them, but ive got rotor work to figure out before I can. I think ill order the tusk rear rotor at least, and see what I can do with the front to clean it up. I like brakes with good bite, but willing to compromise a little on the front brake as long as ive got decent modulation.
weve got some a muddy spring but mostly loamy, roots and rocks. Pretty easy to avoid the muck and sand here in NH.
If you like brakes that bite then the organics aren't the best choice. Sintered pads bite a lot harder, are less affected my mud and sand, and last longer than organics. However, I think organics give way better modulation due to their initial bite not being as hard.
