RE: some performance questions (please move to modification section)
Not to like crap on the parade here, but I'm extremely skeptical that going with iridium plugs would actually make must difference over copper core plugs. I could be wrong, because I haven't personally used them, but I was always under the understanding that going with an iridium plug would do more for longevity than anything. Theoretically I don't think there should be much of a measurable difference between the two, much less detectable by the human ***.
not trying to start anything, just putting in a counterpoint. Also, I'd skip asking for the 929 plugs and just say what bike you actually have, then ask for the iridium versions.

F3 rear wheel.Bike will turn better,feel more planted and is a cheap mod (75 bucks) and will pop right in.Don't put a 180 on there,bike won't turn worth a squat.

F2 wheel is 4.5 inches wide,F3 is 5.0 inches wide.What this actually does is widen the contact patch on the ground,making the bikemore stable when you pull it over on it's side.It adds safety to the equation as well,and widens the rubber choice also (160-170).Do not put a 180 on the F3,it won't turn for sh*t.
As for the iridium debate,look at the NGK part number for our bikes (CR9EH).The iridium part number is CR9EH-IX
C- diameter
R-resistor
9- heat range
E- Dunno (lol)
H- Honda specific.The same for Suzuki does not have this letter.This plug has what's known as "the Honda shoulder",hence the "H" in the part number.
IX- Iridium core and tip
Now read carefully:
The reason I originally posted this suggestion is that you can get a full set of these for only 29 dollars and change "out the door" for a set of four at Advance Auto.The copper plugs from AA are 50 cents cheaper.Why not get a better plug,for only 2 dollars more a set?
I use these in both my streetbike (1991 F2) and my racebike (F2/F3 hybrid). Not to brag (cause it ain't my style) but I do well on both.
Why pay 8 dollars each at a dealer for copper,when you can have iridium for less from AA?
