Sounds good... How old were the plugs you replaced?

Where the plugs you replaced still in good nic? Do you think the new plug is better or were the old plugs shagged?

Anal is good... especially with a bike that is so expensive to fix if they break...

Thanks for the post, my bike is due for service i'll get some iridiums thrown in then drink

I tried them earlier in the year when my bike was going through it's starter issues.
Didn't really get the use out of them cause plugs were fouling, $30-$40 wasted.
I will try them next service though, you'll have to make sure your shop has them as they are not standard issue.

$16 a plug is pretty good. The SS is due for the iridiums next service and they want to sting me $30 a plug and there is 8 Shocked Shocked Shocked.
