Post by: C14PAINKILLER on April 08, 2013, 11:48:41 PM: Anyone using these?

If their claims are true, should be a good plug to get. Better spark, better burn, cleaner engine internals, etc, but prove it!?! Nice they are made on this side of the world.

Post by: VirginiaJim on April 09, 2013, 06:16:29 AM: Well, C14PainKiller could try them out and see if the claims add up to what they say.. In looking at reviews across the web I see enough not to buy them.... I'm sticking with the stockers.

Well ok then. One hurdle jumped for me but I'll still let someone else test them. The NGK Iridium plugs seem to work quite well.

Post by: Daytona_Mike on April 09, 2013, 09:28:40 AM: Better to stick with NGK. Messing around with something that has no issues and trying to fix it makes no sense to me.

It is not like plugs fail much (ever?) on our bikes and the life is already exceptionally long.
