April 9, 201214 yr Had a brand new TXT80 back in 2002, it had a hunger for spark plugs. I always carried a new one in my pocket, you just never knew when it was going to go. Once it stopped, the only way to get it going was a new plug. Fit one and it would start the very next kick. Apart from that, it was a fantastic little bike and never let us down once! Pete

Turned out to be the NGK plug. I myself hate NGK plugs, and they hate me, never ever have I had a plug that fired right up to a certain (not even that high) rpm. I swore it was a fuel issue, after cleaning the carb 2 times, I change plug, bike ran great. I like those Bosch Platnums myself, I change them only out of guilt after months and months.
