Default Spark plugs

What brand of plugs and heat range? And what mileage did you get out of the orignals in the bike if you bought it new.

On what year bike?

My bike is an 05, still running the stock plugs with just over 15,000 miles on them.They are NGK IMR9C-9HES. I believeyou can save about 6 bucks perplug and just go down to your localautoparts store and buy a set of IMR9C-9H plugs.The only difference,I've been told, is theHES has a stainlesscrush washer.

The only plugs I run in my bike areNGK. I would never run champions.. ever... The other brands Im not really sure on, but I've had great luck with NGK so thats what I stick with.

On the 04 be prepared to spend the day taking the bike apart to change the plugs. Dunno about the 06 model but it is a pain on the 04. Ialo put the bike on stands and remove the front wheel now ... makes it a little easier. Have fun

I havent used them, but have twofriends that have and say they are good plugs. one friend swears his bike has more power, but I relate that to his old plugs being 5 years old and 20,000 miles on them.

I have read good reviews of them as well. I will probably just stick with my NGK's though.
