NGK BR8ES Spark Plug – Stock No. 5422
The NGK BR8ES is a reliable, resistor-type spark plug for many performance-minded two-stroke and small-capacity engines. It delivers a clean, consistent spark and resists fouling. Ideal where dependable cold starting and stable combustion are important.
It uses a nickel alloy centre with a copper core for good heat transfer. The heat range 8 is on the colder side, helping control temperatures in hard-worked or high-revving engines. The built-in resistor cuts electrical noise that can affect the ECU or radios.
- Strong ignition under load with stable idle and clean throttle response
- Resists fouling in two-stroke use and frequent stop-start running
- Resistor design reduces electrical interference in sensitive systems
