I've been using NGK BPR5EIX in both bikes for over a year - no problems.

Here is the breakdown:


B - Thread Size / Hex Size: 14 mm / 13/16" (20.8 mm)

P - Construction: Projected Insulator Type

R - Resistor

Heat Rating Numbers : 6

E - Thread Reach: 19 mm (3/4")

NGK Standard Resistor Green Plugs : BPR6E

Standard Non Resistor Plug : BP6ES

Standard Resistor Plug : BPR6ES

Standard Green Plug : BP6E
Iridium IX : BPR6EIX
Iridium MAX : BPR6EIX-P
Premium RX :

The suffix or -11 is the Gap which equates to 1.1mm or .044"

Toddh,

I think you may find the "11" in the prefix also stands for the type of top connection the plug has.

We need the threaded screw on type top to the plug with the removable cap & the "11" is a FIXED type cap that cannot be removed, so cannot be used with the standard plug caps.

I fell into this trap buying NGK plugs a few years ago.
This is why plugs with "11" in the prefix are normally cheaper than ones without

Good to know Pete.

When you go to NGK's website, I did not see that distinction in their literature. when you see the picture, you can see the black permanent top cap vs the removable threaded cap.
