Which spark plugs?

Post by Diabolus »

In the process of ordering parts for full service and I was set on ordering brisk sparkplugs but after checking on here I'm getting conflicting views, I'm not bothered about how long they last as I replace every year regardless.

NGK 5545's are what I use, they last roughly a year

Denso IX27B. I think there is slight improvement over NGK as I felt improvement in low revs.

I had a notion and replaced NGK's with Denso's .. they weren't bad but
I have gone back to NGK.. provided them plugs are " cocher " and real
nothing wrong with them , bike seems easier to start and runs smoother
for some reason I would be happy and stick with NGK.. just my
preference, seems a waste of dosh to " briskly " send your money orf
for wonder plugs.

How about trying the following:

They will give you a small boost for a short while. I tried them and they work well but either performance drops off to working like an NGK plug or one just gets used to it.
