My TR650's are running so well after the recall, they are defintely not running as lean as it used to be which I think caused the stalling. Any recommendations on spark plugs other than the stock NGK MAR9A-J. DO you think a colder plug like the MAR10A-J would be better?
Pull them out and lets have a look at them. I found the stock ones a little cold, but that was when I first got into this stalling issue, but had done 10,000km.
Seems impossible, but after installing a pair of pulstars I wouldn’t even consider having my ECU messed with. Approx 7k miles on this set with no other mods than an iat spoofer (eruption). Bike went from something I didn’t trust enough to allow anyone else to ride to a dead reliable (and predictable) thumper I actually enjoy (I’ve stopped cursing it’s existence). Best thing I ever did to this bike (KYB swap a close second) ... can’t for the life of me explain why they work but they do!
i didn't experience any difference with the Pulstars either. Not when i put them in new (original NGKs had 7000 miles on them) nor when i put the NGKs back in after 8000 miles.
Nor did the Brisk. Or the Eruption, or the other spoofer-thing, whateveritsname. The ECU flash fixed all of it though.
I think I can answer for him, I have the very same Brisk spark plugs now, and recently installed the 3rd pair. Beside the original NGK (which were mounted during the ECU upgrade), I've also installed the Pulstar and the Brisk AR10ZS in the past (but not after the ECU flash). Out of the bunch, the AOR10LGS are the ones I prefer. They are definitely better performing, especially in the engine mid-range, where the engine seemed to have suffered the most after the flash. The Pulstar are not even comparable IMO. They may have more zest on the higher end, but not nearly as smooth anywhere else. My mechanic told me that this type of sparks may suffer from low tension at lower RPMs, particularly in smaller engines. They run rough and not at all enjoyable. The AR10ZS are plain simply dangerous. One broke on me and nearly caused damages to the cylinder. Having said that, despite the improvements after the ECU flash, I recently re-installed the EJK (for 650GS) with conservative settings, and that still made a big difference in the overall performance, especially in smoothing out the engine breaking.
