Spark plug choice
      #28160 - 19/06/2008 11:13

Hi everyone, I recently got my first bike, a kaisar ks125-23, but the other day i couldn't get it started, eventually i pulled out the plug which looked ok, i cleaned it anyway just incase and the problem was sorted but i dont no for how long. Anyways i want to change the el-cheapo plug for a iridium tip spark plug, can i just buy one with the same thread and length or is their more to it? Cheers for any help!

Welcome , and no you can't just put a plug of the same size and thread in. There should be some numbers printed on the white porcelain insulater , and you want a plug of the same number or the equivelant in another make. A decent motorbike shop should be able to find you an equivelant.
