Description
FEATURES
- Unique electrode shape maximizes the power created by the spark plug - Diamond Fire technology
- Electrode is a combination of performance and technology that results in an improved flame kernel shape
- This flame front ignites the bulk air/fuel mixture faster, moves heat into the combustion chamber faster and creates a more localized pressure front for faster pressure rise during the cylinder power stroke
- The result is more complete combustion and an improvement in engine performance
- A truly premium performance plug

Vehicle Information
Honda XL500 Motorcycle - Dual-Sport (1979-1982)
The Honda XL500, an iconic dual-sport motorcycle, was produced from 1979 to 1982. It was powered by an air-cooled, single-cylinder, four-stroke engine of 497 or 498cc, featuring a four-valve per cylinder design, delivering approximately 26 to 33 horsepower depending on the year and version. A significant evolution occurred during this period. The XL500S models (1979-1981) featured 23-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels, a dual-shock rear suspension, and a 6-volt electrical system, with drum brakes. In 1982, the XL500R introduced major upgrades, including a Pro-Link single-shock rear suspension, air-adjustable front forks, 21-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels, and a 12-volt electrical system. These changes significantly modernized the platform. FAQ:
