Motorcycle components constantly work under more severe conditions than in automobiles, that is why motorcycle manufacturers indicate in their owner's manuals the replacement of spark plugs in different periods according to the characteristics of the model. To avoid surprises and crashes the NGK, world's largest manufacturer and specialist in spark plugs,
orienta o motociclista a realizar uma verificação na peça a cada 3 mil quilômetros. Motorcycle engines are more compact causing spark plugs to have reduced dimensions and different thermal degree, that is, the spark plug used on motorcycles is "cooler".
A rotação do motor destes veículos gira normalmente acima de 6 mil RPM e, mostly, at revs above those used in automobiles. NGK recommends that before candle application, the repairman consult the NGK application catalog or the Manufacturer's Manual as the spark plugs have different technical characteristics and are specifically developed for each type of engine. The NGK application table can be downloaded from the website

motorcycle flex The dual fuel system has been improved more recently for motorcycles, but, just like in cars, brings the concern with the use at low temperatures, mainly because this type of vehicle does not have a cold start system, NGK reinforces the need for spark plugs in good condition. "As the amperage of motorcycle batteries is usually lower, insisting on starting the vehicle can drain the battery. Another problem is a possible drenching of the spark plug with fuel.. Spark plugs in good condition can avoid several problems such as difficulty in starting the vehicle., high fuel consumption, irregularities in functioning, failures during resumptions and increased levels of pollutant emissions.”, clarifies Hiromori Mori, NGK Technical Assistance technician. The technician points out that cars have multiple cylinders, which allows, in case of failures, the owner to go to a safe place. "In the case of motorcycles, for having a single cylinder, in case of lack of system maintenance, fatally the vehicle will stop", complete Hiromori. In addition to the spark plug, NGK produces the suppressive terminal whose function is to conduct the high voltage produced by the Coil to the spark plugs without allowing current leakage. The products are designed to withstand high temperatures and voltages in addition to ensuring a perfect seal between the spark plug and the terminal. Important factor when the motorcycle is used on rainy days or flooded places so that engine failures do not occur. NGK also offers colored terminals with the same function as the traditional Suppressive Terminal and which allow customization of the motorcycle, bringing together a strong aesthetic appeal and raising the personal valuation of heritage. Only available for the aftermarket, the Color Terminal is sold in kits that have a colored tube for the coil wire, reflective sticker beyond, Sure, from the terminal itself. To give the consumer options, three color options are available: blue, yellow and red. The product fits most motorcycle models, it can be used in applications that use the LD05FP and VD05FMH type terminals.
