NGK BR8ET Spark Plug – Triple Ground Electrode, 14 mm, Resistor
The NGK BR8ET is a cold heat range, triple-ground electrode spark plug designed for stable ignition under high load and high temperature. The three ground electrodes spread wear and help maintain a consistent spark for longer, which is useful in hard-driven engines and many two-stroke applications. The built-in resistor reduces electrical noise that can affect sensitive electronics.
Expect reliable starting, smoother idle, and steady performance. This plug is a good choice where the manufacturer specifies a BR8ET or an equivalent cold 14 mm long-reach plug.

Where it typically fits
Commonly specified for many two-stroke motorcycles, scooters, and marine engines, and some performance automotive engines that require a cold 14 mm, long-reach, resistor plug with multi-ground electrodes. Use our vehicle lookup to confirm, or check the Vehicle Fitment tab.
- Set the gap to the vehicle’s spec. Do not force the ground electrodes.
- Do not use anti-seize on the threads. NGK plugs are plated for correct torque.
- Tighten to the manufacturer’s torque spec. For 14 mm gasket-seat plugs, typical torque is 18-25 Nm if no spec is given.
The price displayed is for a single plug, please add the desired amount to your basket.
