January 5Jan 5 Hi all hope some one can help here, my bike has a ngk bp7es fitted but the manual sais to use a br7es plug. I emailed beta uk and they said to use a bp5es or the 7. Said the R ristore is for if your running lights which I can assume the ignition is abit noisy with emf I beleave. The bp7es is a long reach plug where as the br7es is not. I would think the long reach is not correct.

Well the manual shows a BR7ES which is not a long reach, so its confusing to be told I need a BP7ES which is a long reach plug. The manual doesnt state a BP, so my question is the manual printed wrong or was the BP found to be a better plug to use. Thanks

January 6Jan 6 NGK site says none of the plugs you quoted are compatible with your bike LOL. What a ridiculous world.

Thanks The sellers on ebay say your bike uses a BR7 ES I would go with what ebay says. Forget what Lampkin BETA UK says what would they know. Edited January 6Jan 6 by Tr1AL

Im not saying they dont know, but the confusion is what the manufacturer is saying to use. I was asking if its update to use the BP plug as there may have been an issue when using the BR plug.

Modern genuine manufacturer spark plugs work very well, if you go to BETA UK website and search parts for your bike the plug that is listed as part # 2 is a BR7 ES that is it ,the end of your search . No other plug is going to be significantly better than an NGK plug and a BR7 ES is the plug for your bike . 3 different sources state that it is. So you have a choice with NGK of a standard BR7 ES or the same sized plug but with an iridium tip known as a BR7 EIX which is the anti fouling version of the plug but costs around £15 compared to approx £5 for the standard version .The EIX version will not increase horse power just supposedly it will give a brighter spark helping the motor to run better. Enjoy your bike. Regards Alan. Edited January 8Jan 8 by Tr1AL
