Which iridium spark plugs are best for the Falco? I've found Denso Iridium Power Spark Plug IXU27. Is that the right one?
Cheers.

I got some DCPR9EIX NGK iridium plugs off Ace parts on E-bay for just over £20, arrived next day. Not fitted them yet as about to give her a big service. If you put "falco spark plugs" in E bay you'll find them, and some others too.[/quote]

Go on buy the DENSO ones and keep me in a job
... and yeah, the correct DENSO iridium plug is the IXU27

The big question is - which one is better? Is there any difference?
Now I know that's two questions, but they are interlinked...

I fitted some iridium plugs to my VFR over a year ago, and to be honest noticed bugger-all difference over new, standard plugs.
Apparently they don't need changing as often though, so should save money in the long run. Which is important if you're from Yorkshire.

What a coincidental post .... I've just got a nice new pack of four IXU27s sitting on my desk in front of me ..........
Hopefully the Falco will roar again tomorrow.
