NGK 3188 spark plug for the 1997-2005 Suzuki GSF1200S Bandit 1157cc and other vehicles ignites the fuel charge in the cylinder. Like other NGK spark plugs, it suits vehicles with OE nickel alloy plugs and is not recommended where the factory plug is precious metal.
- NGK Standard line plug with a nickel alloy center electrode for consistent performance
- Trivalent metal plating for anti-corrosion and anti-seizing properties
- High grade alumina silicate ceramic insulator for stronger dielectric performance
- Solid 98% pure copper core for heat dissipation, conductivity and wide heat ranges
- Cold-rolled threads that help prevent cross-threading and damage to cylinder heads
- Triple gasket sealing that prevents combustion gas leakage
