spark plug?
03/26/08 at 12:21:00
 
wow just did a search and did not find much info on reccomended spark plugs for our savages.

just got my bike rejetted and figured i outta change the spark plug on it today.

any reccomendations on a replacement spark plug to get? im sure there has got to be better ones than the OEM one that ive got in her now.

hoping for a little more power or at least just get the bike running healthy as can be.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.

I put the NGK Iridium plug in mine. I did'nt notice much of a difference in power, but it does start easier. It was fairly expensive for a sparkplug, but I decided that with only one cylinder I should treat her to the best there is.  Grin

The number is DPR8EIX-9, there's a lot of info about sparkplugs on NGK's website and they have a product finder there too.

You could allways try a Denso IX24B, it has a 0.4mm centre electrode vs. the NGK's 0.6mm.

What is the difference/advantage of the 0.4 mm vs. the 0.6 mm?

Thanks,

Cheapy NGK's, it ain't like they're hard to change...
Stash a few in your chrome box, with a wrench.

You can run a bigger plug gap with the 0.4mm electrode.
