Title: Iridium plugs
Post by: dogbone on September 27, 2007, 09:14:15 pm

I have found Champion plugs work real well in limey bikes.  has anyone seen an iridium  that crossed to the bpr8es or maybe 1 range colder?

The Champion equivalent to BPR8ES is RN6Y->RN6YC->RN6YCX

There is no Champion Iridium version of that plug.

However there is a Denso version of the RN6YCX: IW24.

You might consider Autolite..  #4063
I've been using them for 4 years now. They are readily available and cheap.
Nothing starts like a new plug so I change mine with every oil change.
