better plug
« on: June 23, 2016, 12:13:02 AM »
For anyone who has a 7H plug, many scooters come with the NGKcr7Hsa. Go to Amazon and type in your scooter name/ performance plug, you will see 2 plugs only 1 comes. It is a replacement for the factory plug, for much better outcome. Its a BRISK plug, I called them to make sure it was a match, type in brisk usa texas ,and ask IF unsure. The plug that comes is an upgrade from the pics. ENJOY~!

Oh goodness, don't get him ....oh, never mind....
A very nice little spark plug for the KYMCO LIKE200i is the Iridium plug made by Denso , or NGK.
I preferred the color of the NGK to the Denso after a few 100 miles. But that just might be my engine.
Email to NGK says to use same heat range as the standard plug.

Because, some say Iridium plug is hotter, therefore go to one range cooler.

Not so  NGK spokesman says. NGK took all things into consideration when marketing the Iridium plug - use the same plug heat range - just added the "X".

What is the advantage of an iridium plug over standard Stig, especially if they are the same heat range.

So Stig, my 125 LIKE takes a CR7HSA and the iridium equivalents that I could find are the Denso IUF22 and the NGK CR7HIX.  If I read your post right, the NGK because it has the X will not be hotter than the standard plug and what benefits should it do.

Cheers,  Paul

Just recently changed the NGK CR7HIX plug in my Agility City 125 after 40000km. I put it in at when the scoot had a bit under 5000km, changed at 45000km.
The ground electrode was eaten up, widening the gap, it still worked, but compared to a new plug that I put in you could feel the new spark was stronger.

You cant go wrong with an iridium Paul. They do seem to make my Kymco run smoother and being an iridium plug, they will last for a loooong time.

Yep....nothing magic or spectacular - but noticeably smoothed the idle and made for a more secure sounding  tick-over while sitting at a stop light, surrounded by Detroit Metal.

Plus - since I get nervous about over-tightening these tiny plugs - it is nice to install one and forget about it for a good while.
Both are made in JAPAN.

BTW, when you put in the new plug, do not over-tighten it and use some anti-seize on the threads. The previous owner of my People had stripped out the head and I had to repair with a helicoil insert. I am not planning on ever taking out the Iridium plug unless the performance drops.

Going to fit it tomorrow or Sunday.  Went for a ride tonight and the same old problem happened again.  Idle was low and when you go to take off it splutters before revving so hopefully the new plug will help.  I can check the connections as well.

Hope so....there are bad plugs out there...but darn few it seems.
Still think you need a dealer to adjust the carb..
Good luck
