can you put the supposedly premium aprilia sr50 NGK ZMR7AP plug on an lx150? will it do anything different than the stock champion?

has anyone done a spark plug showdown for the lx like this one http://www.apriliaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=122094&highlight=shootout for the aprilia SR50?

thanks,

mikael.

what is the stock champion number? you can cross that number in the NGK site to the proper Ngk plug.

ZMR7AP won't work but exotic metal plugs are available.

Expect quicker starts, smoother idle, maybe better throttle response. Thin center electrode fires at lower voltage so it's like bolting on a higher energy ignition system.

Not gonna be as radical a difference as on the SR (I had one). The search for the "holy grail" plug on those was to compensate for the crap direct injection fuel system.

thanks for the answers.

is the CR8EIX the same as the CR8EIB (the one from scooterwest)? ive had a look at the ngk site, the former is "iridium ix" and the latter "laser iridium" but i cant work out whether or not i could use both.

cheers,

mikael.

The only difference between the EIX and the EIB is that B stands for special design - in other words it has the special top which doesn't unscrew!

Personally I'd avoid the Iridium plugs. If you want a decent replacement go for the CR8EB or the CR8EKB which has twin side electrodes and is used in the GTS 300.
