NGK Spark Plugs

Hi guys

what heat-grade do you use in your zeds ? I noticed the manufacturer recommends to use the B(P)R 6 ES, however are you satisfied with the 6 as heat-value or do you use even 7 or 8's ?

regards,

Holger

6 is the right plug with maybe 7 in a very hot climate like 40°C consistently and 8 never need them and never use them.

I did raise that question in the UK forum, too. Seems there is a printing error in the manual.

The correct one, according to most sources, are the NGK B(P)R 6 ES.

Guess that sorts it out,

cheers,

Holger
