New Spark Plugs - What are people using?

Post by taz_116 »

Hi all,

Raptor maintenance time yet again an this year the plugs need to be changed. I think they are still the originals to be honest :? but the bike has only done just over 3k from new :lol:

So anyway i want to swap the plugs, any recomendations or any to steer clear of?

Cheers,

Si

I think there are only three choices Champion, NGK and NGK Iridium. The NGK Iridiums seem to be going for about £13 a pair posted on ebay - I might be using them dunno what the previous owner put in the bike :D

been using NGK Iridium since beginning of the season and no issues at all - think the manual recommends iridium
