FAQs
What motorcycles are these engine plugs compatible with?
These specific green Apico engine plugs (EP-005 GRN) are designed for Kawasaki KXF250 models from 2004-2010 and Suzuki RMZ250 models from 2004-2006.
Are these plugs stronger than the stock plastic ones?
Yes, they are made from aero-grade aluminium, making them significantly stronger and less likely to deform under pressure and heat compared to standard plastic engine plugs.
Do I need to buy new O-rings?
The Apico engine plugs are designed to accept OEM O-rings. It is recommended to use your existing O-ring if it is in good condition, or purchase a new OEM O-ring for a proper seal.
What does 'EP-005 GRN' mean?
'EP' likely stands for Engine Plug, '005' is the specific model number, and 'GRN' indicates the green color of the anodised finish.
How do I clean the engine plugs?
Clean them with a soft cloth and a mild degreaser. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the anodised finish.
Are these plugs available in other colors?
Apico engine plugs are typically available in a selection of colours to suit different manufacturers and rider preferences, though this specific guide refers to the green variant.
What size fitment do these plugs have?
These plugs come in both 8mm and 6mm fitment options, but you must ensure you select the correct size for your specific motorcycle application.
