Suzuki 2 Strokes

I went to get new plugs and have been told that B7ES is not made anymore. what NGK are you guys using?

Some (including me) use the fine-wire NGKs -- gold-palladium (BxEGV), platinum (BxEVX) or Iridium (BxIEX).

These can be bought pretty cheap online now. Sure, 1 of these plugs is the cost of a set of 3 standard plugs, but the Iridiums especially simply never foul or need the gap adjusting once set, and they make the most of old ignition systems (if you're still on the factory points set-up). My 380 is running total loss (no charging system) and those plugs still keep firing strongly even when the battery charge is low after a ride.

The Iridiums do have a 5K resistor built in, so you need to buy NGK non-resistor caps too (again, these are cheap online).

NGK B8ES is the recommended standard plug now, although B7ES should still be available to order.

You can get four for £5.43 with free postage (in UK) here.

I also use the palladium plugs as they work very well .

Plenty available.
Cheaper here for 10. (clicky)

Thanks for the input. I went to 3 bike shops as well as Canadian tire today and no one has them without resistor. I finally ordered a box of 10 from ebay for about $4.00 ea including the shipping.

Now you're going to be two short,sometime !

Of course, that is their nefarious plan, but only one short because I had to buy them before in 2 packs.

I bought 2 boxes just to have for future use (B7Es) also bought a box of B9HS for the kawis from Andre as Canadian Tire no longer carries these..

Recently bought 10 BR8HS-10 plugs for the outboard (£18.19 inc P&P) and another 10 B7ES for the 550s (£14.67 inc P&P) from THESE (clicky) excellent fast service, used them before for LPG plugs for the Santa Fé.

Two strokes love new plugs!! Better to have spares than one short!!
Also got a proper compressed air spark plug cleaner which has been handy over the years too.
