I have a 2014 ktm 150sx and was wondering if I could use a cheaper plug. I change them often and never foul but the br9ecmvx is $25. Can I use the BR9ECMIX that is around $12. I know the tip on theach stock plug is supposed to resist vibration and breaking off but thought I would ask. Thank guys.

holy shit, $25 for a two stroke plug?

I thought that was expensive for a 40 hour 4 stroke plug. lol

You can run a standard br9ecm which can be had for $10 or so. The ECM is just a more compact version of the standard br9es, which I believe would work depending on your available space...and there is also a br9eg available...

Some old bastard once said "buy cheap plugs and expensive beer"

I've tried many different plugs through the years and never saw much of a difference between a standard ES to the iridium. Between bikes, snowmobiles, stand up and even my old mans drag outboard we have tried our fair share.

I run a br8ecm in my 250 Kawasaki because of fuel tank clearance, if it were not for that I would be running the standard $2 ES. Been running cheapo's in my 125....came with an iridium in it, used it to tune because it already had some color as a base. Been running a cheapo ever since with no issues.
