    all i know is typh's dont like the 8's atall and its 9 in the haynes/piaggio book. might be a diff coil on the sr tho.

    using a 9 wont harm it if it is an 8 anyway. or use an 8 and see if it blows out quick, if so back to br9es

    just befor anyone asked iridium tipped are a waste of time

    BP is a different type of electrode, 4 is a hot plug i beleive, probably out of a car

    4 is a fuken hot plug, Don't run one.

    Even a 7 is a bit on the edge for a hard ridden scoot.

    An 8 will run most.

    B is 14mm thread, P is projected electrode. R is internal 5K resistance, 8 is heatrange, E is 3/4" thread depth, S is a normal non race internals. (from memory)

    NEVER EVER run a "P" projected plug unless you have to. Their purpose is to burn off deposits in engines that would otherwise foul plugs.
