When you ask a bunch of riders what is the "best" of anything, you'll get a bunch of answers.:)

Here's my opinion of the best based on my experience:

NGK BPR5EIX-11 set to .6mm gap. The "P" dictates a projected tip (helps the combustion process) and the "-11" means it's an "extended gap" plug designed to fire at .044" (1.12mm). The Iridium plugs take less voltage to fire and have an extended heat range as well as not being prone to fuel-fouling at low RPMs.

80/1 premix ratio of a full-synthetic oil, like Castrol TTS for instance. The full-synthetic oils tend to run cleaner at the on/off throttle, low RPMs encountered in a Trials engine

For the 2008, Type-F ATF, change it often

No workshop manual available, just parts and owner's manuals
