A proper spark plug is VERY important in relation to performance. Do me a favor and find out what the right plug is, go buy a box of them immediately!!!! Set the gap. For a little amount of money you've eliminated one of the most common causes of poor performance.

I use my thumb nail to gap my plugs. Tip of the day. :)

Well, I'm just saying that the manual says NGK 6, and 8 for extended high speed riding. They sent me an 8 with my Taiwan BBK, and my Corsa came with a Champion equivalent of an 8. That's all I am sayin, or asking, or whatever lol

Yeah, its all about what polini recommends for the corsa....or what people are using on the boards with success. Im just trying to emphasize through what I've learned via school of hard knocks that a new and proper plug is a cheap way to eliminate it as the issue. Heat range and legnth is very important. The fabrizi kit I have came with a 9 pug, but its apples and oranges. A lot of stock bikes come 6 or 7. My wife's vino.....I dont know? I put a pipe and variator on it 5 years ago and it hasn't had a single problem.

I run NGK br9hs with great results so far. Only in bbks and I only ride in the summer and in good weather so I don't have the need for cold weather plugs.

That this bpr9hs isn't too cold?

I was running a BPR8HIX in my last motor, and I still have a couple new ones so that is what I was going to start with.

7 is sorta hot. Ive never run anything hotter than 8 in my performance kits. Usually run 9's, but I dont know what Polini recommends for this particular kit.
