Default Pulstar anyone?

So I've been receiving Popular science magazines recently, and there's adds for this new type of spark plug called "Pulstar". It promises better fuel economy, more power, the works. There's even dyno charts to back it up, but I'll let you guys check it out: http://www.pulstar.com/

Just wondering if anyone has ever heard of these, or even if someone has used them

That's what I say. Try it. Can't hurt. It might just be a waste of money.

I just use a hotter NGK plug. I did mainly for the altitude in NM but now I am still going to run it. Why change something that works.

Damn, I really don't want to even change my sparkplugs on my 1000RR anytime soon. It's going to be a major PITA when I do it.

Why would it be a PITA? They are one of the easiest things to do.

Not on the 1000RR. You cant get to the plugs under the tank. you have to go through the front of the frame and remove everything in the way. Air duct, radiator... and then there is so little room... it does suck.

Plugs suck to replace anymore. It is that way for most vehicles now. PITA.
