Phalanx7.62 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 So I am in my local Honda dealer, kicking tires and picking up a few items from the parts counter. I overhear part of a conversation between a service guy and a customer. The customer was saying he bought a CBR in the fall but he had problems with it and hardly rode it. Everytime he turned on the high beams, the bike would immediately die. He would have to pull over, turn the high's back off then restart the bike. The service guy was understandibly curious and was asking more questions. The guy then gestures himself turning on the high beams with his right hand on the right clip-on. I was stunned. I was next in line, but I could not speak to the parts guy. I was like, "Uhh.... Just give me 3 NGK BR8ES sparkplugs." I hoped to all that is holy that guy was joking/trolling/shitting the service guy. I feel like a genius now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phalanx7.62 Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 CR250. Or a 1972 Yamaha GS340 snowmobile. They fit either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On second thought, since BR8ES are used on 2-strokes, maybe its a Kawasaki Samurai :idea: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe its an MVX 250 (did you have those in US?) , one of the few dissasters from Honda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaygermeister Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I use the BR8ES in my Kawasaki SX-R and BR7ES in my Yamaha SuperJet. Just asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pug Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Keep guessing, this is fun to watch...... I was preparing a cross-check from the NGK catalogue, but he answered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbird Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 ....but he answered Yes, five and a half hours before you started guessing. That was the fun part :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phalanx7.62 Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 For those of you who kept guessing after I answered, I guess you're wrong.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redxxrdr Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Hey, I tried that right hand head light switch on my bike today. It does a good job of making my engine quiet!! I bet that switch is a lot cheaper than replacing my CCT. It improved my fuel mileage too!!!! And that effort pushing my XX home has helped me loose some more weight. Thanks for the tip. :twisted: Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
