burns1989 Posted Monday at 05:00 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 05:00 PM 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr1AL Posted Monday at 10:34 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 10:34 PM Do you not mean a BPR7ES same long reach plug but the resistor type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

I was asking if its update to use the BP plug as there may have been an issue when using the BR plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 9 hours ago by Tr1AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
