Hi All
My 500t is eating plugs. The current plugs I am using is B6ES. I am thinking this may not be the correct plug as after around 15 to 20 mile it start to miss and struggle to pull properly.
Should I be running B7ES,B8ES or higher.
Thanks in advance.

It is probably a symptom of a failing mag. Many years ago I had a Triumph which would do about 90 miles on a pair of brand new KLG FE80s then start to miss. I would replace the plugs with another new pair and the same happened. After about half a dozen pairs of plugs the mag came off and it turned out to be a very fine crack in the slipring causing the problem; I then had six pairs of good useable plugs!
The B6ES is the correct heat range. I use a Lodge HBLN in my 500T which is an equivalent of the NGK B6ES.

Hi Ron
Thanks for your reply
I hope its not the mag, only just had it rebuilt. I think I will try a different make of plug. I have being reading of lots of fake NGK plugs out there. However mine were Halfords plugs so cannot see that that would be the case. I also think my bike is running weak after more investigation last night so this will surely be an issue for any plug.
You will have to either post photos of the plug or describe the condition to get any usefull help.
