Default Those E3 Spark Plugs

Does anybody have any experience with those E3 spark plug ads i keep seeing on here? They're cheap but I just don't want to buy something that will mess up in a few weeks.

I don't have any experience w/ the e3's but looking at the stock plugs which are iridium and platinum I don't think you can get any better. I just grabbed a set from rockauto a little while ago for like $40, but I'm gonna hold off a few thousand more miles before I change them.

The only spark plugs I ever ran in my car (honda civic) was NGK. They're great and im sure they will be great for bikes as well. Give those a try. I use the iridium plugs.

I think I might buy some. Idk if the previous owner did any work so I'm gonna take the safe road and replace everything. Ill let you all know in a couple of months how they do. If anyone does have experience with these, please feel free to share

E3's are a gimmick. Notice how nothing has ever come with them stock? The manufacturers use every trick in the book to get better emissions, gas milage and power all in one package. If something like these plugs were better they would use them.

That's true. hmmm idk about these. The only reason I was considering them is because they were super cheap.

How many miles are on your bike now? I'm not planning on messing w/ mine until at least 20k miles.

You obviously have never tried taking plugs past 16k. Performance [and I don't just mean power] goes down quickly.
