Spark Plugs: Racing or Normal

Imaginary SG

Was wondering wat's the diff with racing and normal spark plugs....
Are racing spark plugs better for the bike?

roger SG

racing spark plugs are for modified race engines. for stock engine, its best to get a normal spark plug.

if you install a racing plug in a stock bike, i do not think there is any performance difference.

if you can feel the difference, pls let us know what brand of plug is that.

Imaginary SG

Eh.. wat is a stock bike?
Anyway I'm riding a phantom150 and I've been using racing spark plugs cos I tot they're better for the bike...

Hanamichi SG

stock bike is that bike that come in its original performance. no modification. think u change back to normal spark plug better.

Imaginary SG

Hmm.. all along I tot that racing spark plugs provide better acceleration for my bike (right or wrong?)....
Wat are the advantages of using normal spark plugs then? if they r better, how come racing spark plugs are more ex?

According to what I read ... racing spark is based of cool material, it is good for your bike if u use it for racing. When racing, biker rev the rpm very high and non-stop for a long time. So this help the engine cooler and prevent over-heat.

It won't make your bike faster if u are not racing (running in medium speed), additionaly, bcoz it uses cool material, it is harder for you to start the bike in the morning...

the info I read from www.motorplus-online.com .. but it is in indonesian ... Smile

actually for normal riding, normal plugs better lah.

cos racing plugs are design for high revving. for our road and speed conditions, these plugs will foul faster, especially in start stop traffic lor.

Hanamichi SG

think racing plug u idle too long will burn easily.

tOngEh SG

a plug wun make u aclelerate faster racing plug are esp for those fully mod bikes.i bet there is no race bikes in sg(i mean really mod totally).jus a $4-5 plug will do anyway it is jus for starting ur engine.wan fast it spend $ and do it.
