Sorry for the double post... wnated to make this another simple poll... On spark plug preference...
Purely because the plugs are a bastard to change, I went with long-life Iridiums.
No obvious performance difference noted, but the Iridium says it's good for 100 000kms, so if I even get half of that, I'm happy. (and probably wont have to change my plugs ever again!)
I used to change my plugs every 5000kms on my Z750, CB750 etc!
Cheers,
Rick
nothing beats the ngk iridiums plus great long life 10 years plusAs my bike is still under 5k, I haven't bothered with plugs yet. But I noticed that idle is kinda lousy. My cb750 idles smoother, even when warm.
This is my first FI bike so maybe it is normal.
Since others have gotten a better idle with iridiums, I think I might go that route. Maybe the idle will smooth out for me. I get decent mpg though. I would say I get about 45 or so.

...There was a post not long ago about someone (forgot who, a regular), keeping track of his mileage, found the iridiums, over time, had his gas mileage go down (as I re-call it was quite awhile time wise/mileage).
