R1250 Spark Plugs

[EasyRider]

Has anyone found where to get the OEM spark plugs for the 1250 at a sensible price.

[David.]

BMW don't make spark plugs, they are made by NGK. What is a sensible price.

[EasyRider]

Best price i have found so far is £29.00 for 2
And these are the NGK LMAR8AI-10 spark plugs

[David.]

£14.50 each is about the going rate.

[EasyRider]

thank you David

I use NGK Iridium plugs. Haven't had to adjust them in 4 years. Costs a bit extra but gives a cleaner spark and lasts longer.

This thread would seem to suggest that Iridium spark plugs are more cost effective, viewtopic.php?t=3633

I have brought the NGK LMAR8AI-10 94319 Laser Iridium Spark Plug for £29 posted.

You have to be careful where you buy them. There are a lot of fake ones for sale. Even large motor parts dealers have been scammed.
Look on YT to compare If yours is a FAKE or not. I bought mine from a SAAB service center that I have trusted for years

Saab went bust 10 months after I bought one, or is that a Saab jet you get serviced?

[Doctor T]

Got then from Hagstrom Saab in Norfolk

AFAIK, the recommended service interval for the standard plugs is 24,000 miles. At what mileage do you change the Iridium plugs.

[EasyRider]

Its 12,000 miles on the 1250 that they say change the spark plugs.

NKG say that they will last 40-50k miles. So if you can get 24k out of them, then there worth buying.

[David.]

The 24K is for Doctor T's 2007, 1200 Hexhead.

I think I will be replacing mine with iridiums next as I have found that at 12k they are well past their best and was getting the odd miss fire

I have never known a bike eat plugs like this one does!

I will still replace them every 12k due to how much wear was on the standard plugs
