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.

Default RE: Spark plugs

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.
