Spark Plug Question

[Vin]

I need to know whether I have just been told a load of bullshit.
I went to a bike shop and asked for some NGK B7HS's. I was told that NGK BR7HS's are the same and the R stands for resistor. On the strength of this i purchased them. Anybody know whether this true?

R does mean resistor, yes.

Hi

R with NGK plugs means resistor plugs. Mainly reason to use them (or a resistor plug cap) is to suppress interference with nearby electronic equipment.

All the best

So would you find these on mainly FI/ABS bikes?

Find them on pretty much anything (or resistor caps). While the effect on the ABS / fuel injection are most important to you, those around who want to listen to the radio in their cars would not be too happy either with interference.

All the best

Thanks chaps. So they should work OK and not mess up the neighbours tele.
