Description
The NGage VH8RTII-9 Double Iridium Spark Plug is a motorcycle ignition component developed for a defined group of modern, fuel-injected motorcycles across KTM, Bajaj, Triumph, and Hero platforms. This listing focuses on its primary applications across KTM Duke, RC, and Adventure models, while also covering its specified use as the center spark plug for Bajaj Pulsar NS200 and RS200 Triple Spark engines.
Manufactured in Japan, the VH8RTII-9 is part of NGage’s Double Iridium spark plug series and is specified for use in both BS4 and BS6 compliant motorcycles, as stated by the manufacturer.
This spark plug is intended as a direct replacement for motorcycles listed in the compatibility section below and is engineered to match the ignition system requirements of these models as defined by NGage’s official part-number application chart.
Double Iridium Construction
NGage classifies the VH8RTII-9 as a Double Iridium spark plug, meaning iridium material is used on both the center electrode and the ground electrode.
Iridium is used in modern spark plug construction due to its high melting point and resistance to electrode erosion under repeated ignition cycles. This construction approach is commonly applied in motorcycles with high-energy ignition systems and tightly controlled combustion environments.
The double-iridium configuration is intended to maintain consistent electrode geometry over extended operating periods under normal riding conditions. NGage does not publish electrode dimensions, spark gap values, heat-range explanations, or service-interval figures for this model.
KTM Motorcycle Applications
NGage lists the VH8RTII-9 spark plug for the following KTM motorcycles:
-
KTM Duke 200
-
KTM Duke 390
-
KTM RC 200
-
KTM RC 390
-
KTM Adventure 250
-
KTM Adventure 390
These motorcycles span KTM’s liquid-cooled single-cylinder platforms that share common ignition system requirements.
For these models, the VH8RTII-9 is intended as a direct replacement spark plug without modification.
Bajaj Pulsar NS200 / RS200 — Center Plug Application
NGage also specifies the VH8RTII-9 for use in Bajaj Pulsar NS200 and RS200 Triple Spark engines.
These engines use a three-spark-plug configuration, consisting of:
-
One center spark plug
-
Two side spark plugs
For these motorcycles:
This listing covers one (1) spark plug, intended to replace the center plug in the Triple Spark configuration.
Owners of Bajaj Pulsar NS200 and RS200 must ensure they are purchasing the correct spark plug for the correct position. The VH8RTII-9 should be installed only in the center plug location as per NGage’s compatibility chart.
Additional Manufacturer-Listed Applications
NGage also lists the VH8RTII-9 for the following motorcycles:
Triumph
-
Speed 400
-
Scrambler 400X
-
