SPARK PLUGS BOSCH

Yes, green coils 3 Ohm with the Dyna-S and remove (By-pass/ jump) the resistor IF you have one on your bike. Not all bikes had ballast resistors.

Funny how everyone's got their own pet methods, including myself.

I hated Champion spark plugs until I proved to myself that they definitely worked better than NGK in 2 stroke motors.

Better idle, quicker throttle response.... difference you could feel and measure the idle increase with digital tach.

I ran both ND and NGK plugs in Kawasaki's. We had brand new Kawsaki's come in with ND plugs one year.

I have ND's in my bike a the moment too, gapped at .028" with stock CDI ignition system. Could have gone Dyna, no thank you very much.

Ran a lot of Bosh and Autolite in my cars. What do you care in your car except it starts, get's as good a mileage as it can and you don't think about the spark plugs for at least 70,000 miles.


Here's Greg Copes spark plug tips.

Spark Plug Gaps
When running a Suzuki or Kawasaki with a Dyna-S and high performance coils set plug gap at .026. When running an MSD or Dyna-4000 Ignition system set plug gap at .018.

Spark Plugs
Racing motors usually require a heat range one colder than stock. We recommend NGK plugs. For a Suzuki GS1100-1150 use a D9EA. For a Kawasaki KZ 900-1000 use a B9ES. With a Dyna-S ignition and aftermarket coils run a gap of .028. If your vehicle has a MSD box or Dyna 4000 ignition run a plug gap of .018 - .020.

I'll bet you $50 that if anyone was given a KZ to ride with the spark plug label covered, they could not ride the bike 10 miles, then tell you if it had Champ, NGK, ND or Bosh plugs in it...

i bet omr could,hes one with the plug ya know! :woohoo:

Take those same plugs. Put 1500 miles on them, and than do a side by side comparison, and I bet you could tell the difference.

depends on whats being dumped in the tank! :laugh:

Screw you Plum.... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I wanted to try the NGK B8EV but hard to find.... Can special order but screw that.... ~ $5 each no big deal....

Then I found some info they're discontinuing.... Ah well, B8ES have been working just fine.... @ $2.50 each, hell throw them away every 3-6 months pending how many miles you put on them....

Cheap insurance....

Maybe put in one of each and see who guesses what. :lol:

Hey Ed, wonder if that will work with your coil mod? :blink:

I haven't done the coil mod yet, but I've been told with the coil mod you don't even need spark plugs. Ed
