can anybody tell me what spark plug goes in my 2006 Gas Gas 280?

More than you probably wanted to know - but good info never the less.

I think that article was written before the Iridium plugs were available. Ive had very good luck with them and find the GG's start a bit easier with them.

Same 5 heat range as above (most modern trials bikes) - IX designator = Irdium

my computer wont open anything on the Gas Gas website mate.

ive already tried finding out what plug goes in it but i run into the difficulties on th GG website so i asked here instead.

I think the plug that you want is a ngk bpr5es or if your wanting the ngk iridium one its bpr5eix

NGK, BPR5ES

thanks chaps, i appreciate it.

anybody else think the iridium plug makes a difference?

i dont mind paying the extra if its noticeable.

Ive tried both the iridium plug and the standard ones and have now gone back to the standard ones. From what ive found is that the iridium ones dont last as long and ive had a couple which have broke down pretty quickly after been put in the bike and dont think they are worth it for the small gain you might get in performance which i didnt really notice. From what i have read they are designed more for high performance high revving engines such as mx bikes.

ok cheers for your input mate it is appreciated.

I got mine from a local motor factors for under £3.... same plug as an old vauxhall.

priced both plugs up today.

BPR5ES - £1.63 inc. vat.

BPR5EIX - £7.20 inc. vat.

im gonna go for the standard plug.

I prefer the iridium for my 94 JT25. It seems to foul a lot less than standard. If you go with the standard, buy 2 so you always have a new or clean one to install when the one in the engine fouls.

yes the standard one probably does foul a lot quicker than the iridium one, but i can buy 4 standard plugs for the price of 1 iridium.

it enables me to change it more frequently.

anyway, i bought it today. so second question, what gap does Gas Gas say to set it to?
