spark plug preference???

okay this could turn out to be a debate but i'd like to hear what plugs you guys run in your two stroke sleds and why. I've heard some guys that say NGK is the way to go with two strokes and other say they prefer champion. i run NGK thin electrode in my yamaha two stroke dual purpose bike with no issue but i really don't have a preference. YET

I have heard people say that Polaris run better on Champion and Skidoo run better on NGK. Take that with a grain of salt though. I run NGK in my Doo. Seems to work fine. The wife's Indy 500 runs NGK's as well and we never have a fouled plug. So who knows really

Iv always prefered Champion plugs over NGK on a 2 stroke, they seem to last longer for me. But you have to take off the seat and the gas tank to even get at the plugs on my phazer....so they dont come out all that often.

See now I've had just the opp! Way back on my 75 TS125 all I could get was Champ! I had to take a spare plug and wrench with me to work so I could get home!
I use BR9es, they are very easy to read, ( esspecialy with my eyes!) more so than the EYA's! I tried the split fires too! a waste! I'm sure I'll try that new ring one too!
I did use ND for awhile with no issues!

I run Champions in my sled because thats what Polaris recommends. Ive never had issues with plugs fouling.
