All 2st Any of you guys running a hotter plug?

Hey guys,
Just doing a run-through of my new to me '06 WR250 and realized that it had a BR6 instead of the BR8 that comes stock. Does the hotter plug cure any fouling issues? Is there any reason I shouldn't go back to the recommended heat range? Bike seems to run great but it's a b@$%# to start sometimes. Might have to drop the pilot jet a size and see what that does. Or the correct heat range may solve that problem and maybe the previous owner didn't know what he was doing! Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

A hotter plug is a poor bandaid for a problem that needs fixed in my opinion.

Check and clean the grounds at the coil and put dielectric grease on all electrical connections.

I had similar symptoms on my 125, hard starting when cold and then it started fouling plugs out of the blue. It fouled 4 plugs in 50 miles.

Cleaning up the grounds has fixed the problem, no plug issues in the last 100 miles and it is back to starting 1-2 kicks cold.

Later,

Great! Will do! Thanks for the info.

Check the float level, this can also cause the plug to foul
