Im asking because I cant get the bloody thing running since it came back from griff's, and I only put 2 new plugs in when I did the service work,
Yes, 100% guilty of thinking I only needed 2
As it is so much fun getting the front plugs out, Im in no hurry to be repeating the task, so best plugs to install this weekend ?
Although I have download manual, its not much use,cant search it as my laptop has developed an operating system from hell

I would suggest the denso iridiums

I dont find the front plugs to be much of a problem to get out tbh.

Do you have a nice long plug socket with a hex head that can take a large Allen Key? Mine came with the above in her tool kit (not sure if they're 'prilla tho) and make extraction a doddle!
Mind, I do have small girls hands...
Oh, and I just use bog standard NGK's, cleaned and gapped every 3-6 months with no problems.

Big difference between denso and ngk iridium?
Used denso iridium in the past with no problems after about 3-4years use.

Difference between ngk and denso?

Choose ngk and you could make a badger jobless

I really do think you should release her - that sort of thing really is frowned upon these days

No, no, no. You've got me all wrong: She's at home with her family, I just have her hands (trophies you understand)

I use NGK plugs none iridiums and they work fine for me

Yes jay

But you have slower coloured falcos so they would be fine

Works for me

And i don't think anyone could ride a falco on full chat to notice the difference with iridium plugs anyway, not even our resident race team....keith,Davshill?

And of course you pete

From personal experience I can say that the iridium NGK's are the right ones, I changed the plugs I had in the bike last year from Iridiums to standard and there was a difference, the bike felt like it was gasping. I put the originals back in and I have just bought a new set of iridiums that I am about to put in at the weekend.

I might try some of the iridiums one day. Never say never

Do they make the bike run smoother? Pick up quicker?

It might be a lot of buck over standard but is it a cheap falco modification if there are gains to be had.

Is it both the above?
or are there more gains to be had?
