hoodie2 Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) A recent test article mentioned the 2018 300 4t model using a plug that extends further into the chamber. Anyone know if thats a new plug or a new head design? Edited April 2, 2018 by hoodie2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoodie2 Posted April 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Nobody got any ideas? I'm wondering if this is a new spec plug that could be retro fitted. Or is this just PR BS and actually the bike's unchanged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markbxr400 Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 The 2018 brochure is showing a different plug (NGK MR7B1-8) than is in my 2016 Evo 4T 300 (NGK CR7EB). This is the Factory bike brochure, so don't know whether that makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoodie2 Posted April 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 It was Ben Hemingway who mentioned it in a test for a well known publication and he was apparently riding a standard 300. If you google this pug code you won't find much except maybe reference to it being used in a snowmobile. Quite intriguing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 We got to ride the new standard 2018 300 4T. Alot more zip than the previous standards. Not as much as a Factory, but not far off. Definately louder, but a good type of louder than the sewing machine it sounded like before. Nice looking bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoodie2 Posted April 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Thats interesting thanks. I can't find the plug code online. Must be unusual. Have you had the plug out and does it look like it has a longer reach or any other major difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrisFan666 Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Boys ..... I ..... actually ... it's ... a candle with iridium electrode technology ... in fact these candles have two characteristics compared to conventional copper: thinner electrode and longer isolator ...... ? ..... that's why in the descriptive notes Beta 2018 ..... the betas "commercial man" .... "they write a new candle with a longer electrode" ??????? but to say only "new iridium candle" NOoooooo ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoodie2 Posted April 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Brilliant! Thanks for your help. With the part number 90982 I managed to find it in the UK. As you say Laser Iridium plug. The key to finding it is that the number is MR7B( then the letter i rather than the number 1) -8. Should be able to source one and give it a try now.

Wonder what the key differences are between this plug and the Iridium version of the stock plug (iridium CR7EIX)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
