Couldn't load pickup availability
The NGK Iridium IX BR6HIX (3419) is a premium performance spark plug featuring a short-thread (12.7mm) design. It is specifically engineered to provide superior ignitability and a longer service life compared to standard copper or platinum plugs.
At the heart of this plug is a 0.6mm laser-welded iridium tip. This ultra-fine electrode requires less voltage to create a spark, which leads to quicker cold starts, smoother idling, and a more responsive throttle.
Key Technical Specifications
| Feature | Specification | Impact |

| Gap | 0.8mm (0.031") | Factory preset; typically doesn't require adjustment. |
Performance Benefits
-
Superior Anti-Fouling: The "6" heat range is relatively hot, meaning it reaches self-cleaning temperatures quickly. This is ideal for engines that spend a lot of time at low RPMs or in stop-and-go traffic.
-
Corrosion Protection: It features trivalent metal plating, which provides excellent anti-seizing properties. This ensures the plug remains easy to remove even after years of use in harsh environments.
-
Fuel Efficiency: The consistent spark stability helps achieve a more complete burn of the air-fuel mixture, which can lead to marginal improvements in mileage and lower emissions.
Popular Compatibility
The NGK BR6HIX is a versatile plug used across several different types of machinery:
-
Classic Motorcycles: Specifically suited for the Royal Enfield Classic 350 (Standard/Electra) and older cast-iron engine models.
-
Scooters: Compatible with various 50cc-100cc models like the Honda Scoopy, Piaggio Ciao, and Honda SH Fifty.
-
Utility Engines: Often used as a high-performance upgrade for lawn mowers, generators, and outdoor power equipment that require a short-reach plug.
