any 1 used these plugs? i dont see how they can be that good with no electrode wouldnt it just ruin your engine?

is it worth getting these for my next service or normal plugs?

I saw these the other day, how the hell would you set the gap? shurely some bikes wont produce enough power for the spark to jump that much space?

to be honest, if you service it reguarly, just stick with standard ngks, or if you leave it that bit longer, go for the ngk irridium. They last longer and give a small power advantage.

You do get some power gains with a fiddle with jetting as it allows for a leaner mix without melting things.

cant see them making any odds
they might be able to run hotter
but you could just buy a hotter grade of normal plug for less money

If they gave you +10horsepower as the advert says, then they would be fitted as standard rather than re-designing the engine and making new tooling for a lighter crank, nutless rods etc.

Gimmick, save your money.

From Ebay 'The almost 20 years old worldwide famous BRISK tuning firm developed expressively for RACING purposes its plugs.'

From Brisk 'Brisk celebrates 70 years of spark plug production tradition.'


A number of peformance sports car manufacturers use Brisk plugs. Some independent testing gives about 3 BHP increase over standard NGK, but thats on 150+ bhp cars with the most expensive racing plug so its unlikely to give 10bhp on a standard bike.

Not easy to get in the UK and they retail at about £15 each for the cheaper ones.

Hi

The images suggest that you get a load of seperate sparks from these plags. Reality is you will only get one (the spark will just be created where it is easiest).

Seen a few odd plugs in the past. Suspect with how shrouded the electrodes are on that one they would get fouled quite easily.

Friend tried an Autolite kart racing plug in my old MBX125. Worked VERY well at high revs (the derestricted MBX would normally rev to 9500, with this plug it would go usefully to 10500), but fouled up badly around town (also the cdi unit died after using it for a couple of weeks........).

All the best

A spark is a spark. On a standard engine the only way you'll gain any more power from a plug is if your old one was knackered. Same goes for splitfire, precious metal ones and all the other gimmicks.

The only use can see for those is possibly an alternative to a retracted nose "normal" plug when running big doses of nitrous.

+10 hp !!!

i need one for my ped lmao!!

I got some irridium plugs for my er5, it did give it a power boost of around 3mph, but i didn't know how long the rusty old things were in there. Plus i like the way the electrode is shaped, and they come in a better box.

you get cooler running from a leaner mixture with iridiums, good for economy and emissions i believe.
