  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Hi guys!

I write you from Spain (Europe). thanks so much for all the info I´d find on this amazing fórum.

I recently purchased a brand new TE250R 2013 and I´ll ask you about iridium spark plug on this bike.

I installed it on other bikes with very good results..

What do you think for TE250R 2013? shoul it be a good upgrade?

Thank you!!!
 
iridium plugs are really good, if there is a match for the oem plug in the iridium series why not? Go for it. I always choose them.

To the other side the OEM tested and warranted the engine with the OEM called out plug so the choice is yours.
 
Thanks by your answer, robertacccio.

I believe that manufacturers only use iridium plugs on a very high end engines, because they cost four times more than a "normal" spark plug.

With iridium ones, and speccially when they´re combined with pen coils, the spark is more intense, the on/off time is more accurate, and this helps a lot to burn all the mix in the combustion chamber.

Certainly no downside other than cost. I have not really adapted to this lifetime plug cycle yet - so I tend to run copper core & nickle plugs and swap them out every winter when I tear the bikes down for maintenance. Almost everything I own with a motor is the same.

I have found that the high end (platinum or iridium) plugs can help alleviate some minor jetting issues, especially on two strokes, but that simply wont be an issue with your fuel injected four stroke.

If the price doesn't scare you (we are, afterall, talking about ONE plug) then get it and ride happy.
 
Don´t you have a iridium sparkplug from factory on your red head motor? I got a NGK CR9EIA-9 on my TC250-13
 
The super fine Iridium point of the electrode requires less voltage to jump the gap then any plug with a larger diameter center electrode. That is much easier on your ignition system. And the easier it is to jump the gap, less the likelihood of getting voltage leak from the hi tension side of the coil to the plug.
