Setting suspension clickers and oil ratios?

[honda_power]

oh yeah i see now, tables confusing at first, but all makes sense now, chur

[warewolf]

BR#ES is a $5 plug, a BR#EG is an old name for the iridium plug, now their called BR#EIX which is about $25, the iridium ones have a tapered tip, the ES ones have a flat tip.

Not sure that's correct; see NGK's FAQs (Part Number Key pdf is 173K).

B = 14mm thread diameter
R = Resistor Type
8 = heat range
E = 19mm thread reach

then one of:
S = Standard 2.5mm centre electrode
G = Fine wire nickel alloy centre electrode
IX = High performance iridium

The G cost me $13; half way from S to IX perhaps? IIRC the G (KTM's spec for my 200EXC) is worth buying; most likely got that idea from ktmtalk.


(Ah, snap! reckless types faster than me!)
(and his pdf is the same but 10x smaller)

thats what counties honda told me when i went to replace my BR9G, they said that the G is a race plug and that they dont make them anymore, theyve been replaced by the iridium EIX ones?

did you get a G recently?

The top fun Site lists all there ES, EG @ $7 bucks and EIX @ $30 bucks,

BNT would be cheaper for plugs I'm thinking

And castrol tts is the cheapest fully synth 2-troke oil, espcially when super cheap or repco do a sale. Seemed like a good oil too.

was about $6 from counties honda for the ES, the same from repco was $7 i think, but we have a white card and know one of the guys who work there, get them for $5 bucks each

havent been to BNT for plugs, might have to have a look one day

Yeah the G series were sold as the "race" series in a red box, IIRC. Been a while since I bought one, but I see plenty of the red boxes sitting on parts shelves in bike & car parts shops. Google can't find any news of that on ktmtalk.com, and I'd expect lots of questions on there if the recommended G ceased production - especially if the replacement cost twice as much, people would moan and challenge it.

Sorry, but I have serious doubts it's true. But you never know, NZ is a small market so may be the first to run out of stock or be forced to jump to the more expensive product (heck we may even be a test market; if we swallow it, they might cut off the USA and ROW next? wouldn't be the first time.)

Yours skeptically,
etc

My link is direct to the NGK web site. Let's hope they don't change the url if they update the page or re-organise the site. Looks like there's plenty of copies of your version stored around the place, just found heaps of links & embeds of it on ktmtalk!

I printed it as a PDf and saved it so if you ever need another one just drop me a line.

Hey off topic here but Robert you open your wharehouse to the public?

Or have you since sold the MX side to another person

Crown Kiwi Technical ( seperate to Crown Kiwi Enterprises ) is open to the public, dealing predominantly with suspension for MX, road, road race and race car. We will also do some bike repairs.
