NGK 7001 BR8HIX Iridium IX Spark Plug, Resistor, Heat Range 8

The NGK 7001 Iridium IX spark plug (BR8HIX) is a resistor-type, 14mm thread spark plug built for performance-minded riders and owners. It has a fine-wire iridium center electrode. The electrode is designed to give a stable spark, quicker ignition and better throttle response than a conventional nickel plug. NGK is a leading original-equipment spark plug supplier, and this plug is sold under its Iridium IX line.

Key Features:

• Fine-wire iridium center electrode with a copper core for durability, heat dissipation and consistent ignition
