|
|
Hey- has anyone tried these? Theres various types- 360 degree spark , quad electrode and silver electrode! Used and developed by lambourgini!
Maybe get the sb8r a pair, see if it helps with initial starting!
If you have- post up, thanks in advance! _________________ wot you got ?...me..well--

Brisk are just a company, like NGK or Denso, I don't see their plugs are any better like for like.
They do those surface discharge plugs though, which look interesting. The spark will only jump to the nearest surface so in reality it doesn't spark in lots of different places.
At least that's what the NGK man said at NEC show, he was surprised the SB6 uses plugs so quickly. _________________ Don't read everything you believe |

I remember when Splitfire spark plugs came out (my missus was part of the marketing team). They were supposed to be the dogs danglies and priced accordingly, approx double the NGK price.
They were crap, gsxr's wouldn't run on them and the returns ran into telephone numbers. I could get them for free and wouldn't use them. My point is........
Never believe the marketing hype and just because they're expensive doesn't mean they're good
Hope they work out for you _________________ SB6 mk1 (project mega light, big bore)

Like most things 'performance ignition' related i fail to see how you can gain 4-5bhp over the std offering if said std offering is working as intended. The benefit to the quad electrode is service life, when one wears, it jumps to the next, then the next, literally going around in circles. Which is a great idea for all those Bimota's that do 20k a year and a single service. . .. .
I'm sceptical about power boost valves, resisitors to fool the ECU into thinking it's running cooler and gives it more fuel etc
I'd generally go for a NGK or Denso _________________ 03 YB11, 03 Aprilia RSVR Edwards, 94 Ducati Superlight III, 95 Honda NC30, 04 Ducati 999S, 91 kawasaki KR1-S C2, 91 Ducati 851 USD Strada, 89 ZXR750H1, 90 ZXR400H1, 205 16v Rally Car, A6 2.7TDI Avant, STM R1 engined Phoenix |

It's not a power boost.
You should get less blurring at the top end and a better pickup IF the new ignition alows a cleaner burn. Different CDI's can allow programed mapping doing away with spark advance at low rpm. _________________ Don't read everything you believe |

well .fitted the plugs.bike started better than with the iridium ones found in there, thats what counts rite, not bothered about the hp claims,as long as im not stranded this summer in the highlands somewhere , lookin like a dick with my italian exotica ,while everyone smuggly retorts,ahh thats why ill stick to my jap bike,!
need to see what shes like to ride when the weather picks up a bit,seeing as bobs just had her serviced,and re-mapped the pc3 to suit all the mods. and told me shes a very smooth bike for an sb8. _________________ wot you got ?...me..well--

I think I'll try a set on my SB8.....can you confirm the model you purchased? I'm guessing AR10S from their catalogue? _________________ Seven |

Right- the ones ive fitted are the 1513-AOR10LGS, and my sb8r starts after 3 short cranks, ( after the fuel pump has primed- and bearing in mind my motor is higher compression- a 1040 bore and also balanced!), it had the iridium plugs in which were new too, but was a devil to start. Flooding or flattening the battery- ( also due to the smaller race battery fitted), to start my bike- no choke- let it kick in, then small blips of throttle then apply one third choke till over 55 degrees!, then reduce choke accordingly till she ticks over nice at about 1600 rpm, you will know your bikes start up yourself!
Mine came from the uk , on ebay, the company is WTVuk.com, fast delivery, cheapest at the time!( well there is a recession on and i live in scotland) _________________ wot you got ?...me..well--
