Spark plugs from Bosch
Bosch spark plugs for motorcycles and
scooters: Reliable and guaranteed quality
The demands of engine performance,
quality and reliability for bikes are
constantly increasing. These demand
parameters influence the design and
functionality of spark plugs. This is why
Bosch has redefined their portfolio of
motorcycle spark plugs, with a broader
program range. The program is specifically
tailored to the requirements of top
sports bikes and scooters. Continuous
development, with over 100 years of
experience in making spark plugs and
the expertise provided by a system manufacturer ensure that Bosch spark plugs
are constantly up to date with the latest
technology and engine design.
The compact power package:
High expectations meet high performance
Effective current leakage barriers at
the insulator: Prevent flashover and
thus misfiring
Nickel-plated housing and thread:
Protection against corrosion and
seizure in the aluminum cylinder head
Spark plugs are vitally important in determining the
Especially in motorcycle engines, with their high engine

Spark plugs from Bosch are specially adapted to
Motorcycle spark plugs from Bosch:
the specific requirements of two wheeler engines.
The outstanding features of Bosch spark plugs include:
ff Demonstrate a high insulating capacity even at temperatures of over 1,000C
ff Extremely smooth operation
ff Dependable performance over the entire
service life
ff Reliable cold starting
ff Complete combustion and thus low fuel
consumption
ff Wide range with the appropriate applications
Heat-shrink assembly:
for several brands and engine types
For absolute gas-tightness and
ff Factory-set electrode gap to suit every engine
a precise heat range
ff Quick and easy replacement, spark plug seizure
is a thing of the past
Interference suppression resistor:
Reliable operation of all electronic
systems
Center electrode with copper core:
High thermal conductivity, protection
against thermal overload
Safe, clear, practical: Motorcycle spark
plugs from Bosch are provided in singles
and in packs of ten. The fast mover types
are also available in blister packaging.
Ground electrode:
Wear-resistant and long service life
ff Are resistant to pressure of up to around 100 bar in
the combustion chamber
ff Have a high mechanical strength for safer installation
ff Are resistant to chemical processes in the combustion
chamber and to damaging residues
ff Can withstand the thermal shocks resulting from the
exchange of hot exhaust fumes and cold intake mixture
ff Guarantee an efficient heat dissipation from the insulator and the electrodes
