Spark plugs for your KTM 150 SX

The recommended plug is a BR9ECM. Match that code - spark plugs are thread-, reach-, and heat-range-specific, so the part number matters more than the brand. Worth considering: the BR9ECMIX iridium upgrade - it fits the same port, fires cleaner, and lasts far longer between changes.

Frequently asked

What spark plug does a KTM 150 SX take?

GarageDex's powersports data shows the KTM 150 SX uses a BR9ECM spark plug, gapped to 0.024", or upgrade to the BR9ECMIX iridium plug.

What is the spark plug gap on a KTM 150 SX?

The KTM 150 SX spark plug gap is 0.024". Set the gap with a feeler gauge before install - iridium plugs come pre-gapped but always verify, since a wrong gap causes misfires and hard starts.

Are iridium spark plugs worth it on a KTM 150 SX?

The BR9ECMIX is the iridium upgrade for the standard BR9ECM. It fits the same port and heat range, fires more reliably, and lasts far longer between changes - a worthwhile swap for most riders, though the standard plug is perfectly fine if you change plugs on schedule.

How often should I change the spark plugs on a motorcycle?

Standard plugs typically want replacing every 8,000-12,000 miles (or per your service manual); iridium plugs go much longer. Fouled or worn plugs cause hard starts, misfires, and poor fuel economy - a cheap part that punches above its weight.
