Denso Iridium Spark Plugs

Post by poloplayaWP »

Hi guys,

So took the kart out for a spin on the weekend. I am trying to eliminate some issues regarding the kart.

Can anyone advise what the equivalent of this plug is and where I can buy it. If I can get the actual plug that would be preferred. what do these plugs go for? Please also comment on the pics that I will post up later of the actual plug.

Although I see its listed for a small capacity engine, you can try a bike dealership. Most superbikes use iridium plugs. they go for about R130 or more per plug.

Honda / Suzuki / Yamaha / Kawasaki dealerships.

They don't stock it. I have found two suppliers: MIRSA/RKT in Vereeniging and KArt Sport South Africa at Killarney Race track.

My Honda runs Iridiums from factory (105 000km plug service intervals).

Speak to Chris at Formula R Motorsport. He might be able to get you the heat range you need.

Are you based in Slaap Stad or Jhb? I see you mention Vereeniging but your location says Cape Town.

If you are in Jhb, have you tried Full Throttle?
