Just use the standard plug, they burn just fine.

STD plug is fine.
100:1 huh? Is that the Amsoil recommended ratio for that oil?

I know Amsoil makes a 100:1 2 stroke oil, but not for motorcycles like ours. I still use the Amsoil 50:1 oil for my KDX. I also use their oil in my truck.
If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

Amsoil saber is the only one rated at 100:1 and it is for SABER Professional is specifically designed for handheld pre-mix two-stroke power equipment including, but not limited to, chainsaws, trimmers, blowers, brush cutters, edgers and shredder vacs.
I run amsoil intercepter at 50:1
Spark Plug is NGK BR8ES

I can up the mix to 50:1 but ,,ive been running it at 100:1 for like 10 years now with no problems at all ,,amsoil dealer says it was really tested at 200:1 but they thought no one would ever believe that so they market it at 100:1,,anyway ill up it a little to like 80:1 ,and yes it is the saber I use
