Multi 1260 Spark Plugs

Discussion in 'Technical Help' started by BabyD, Jul 22, 2021.

  1. I’m looking for a decent, reliable replacement spark plugs to use to replace the standard Ducati ones, not bothered about price.

    what are peoples ideas ??
     
  2. I think there are some pretty good ones that only last 100 miles at £1000 each. Won't worry you, though, as you're not bothered about price. I will investigate if I still have the link....

  4. Like for like:
    NGK MAR9A-J (6869)
     
  5. The workshop manual says NGK MAR10A-J, granted the 9 is only one step hotter and would probably work fine.

    The OP has a 950 in his profile but has posted this Q with a 1260 flag... Maybe some clarity needed.

    The NGK Iridium plugs are usually good for 25,000+ miles but Ducati mention changing them at 9,000 miles.

  6. Good call. And yes it's sounds like a definitive on the model would be helpful.

    I just looked on NGK's website and that's what was listed. For the 1260 they don't list a platinum or iridium alternative, which I found surprising.

    Even the platinum plugs outlast the copper cored plugs by some margin. A good investment.
     
  7. That link makes for an interesting read.

    CR10EIX or CR9EIX then. I'd want to line them up to check the length, as there's a reference to a slight difference but otherwise it seems like a no brainer.

    Cheaper as well..
     
  8. You must see something I don’t, my bike is a 1260
     
  9. Open the bit below your aviator, it say “2017 multistrada 950”

  10. In that case you'll need to contact the admins to get that changed. Unless there's been something done since I last moved to a new bike, they need to edit that bit of your profile.
     
  11. Apologies for the re asking the same question but….. was the consensus that the NGK MAR10a be a better replacement plug for a 1260 ???

    thanks
