a load of marketing tosh... there are some small gains to be had in particulalry harsh engine environments, but since the iridium is only a coating, as soon as there's the smallest scratch on it, it's back to being a regular plug.

we've discussed this before in here.. I can dig out the post if you want.

I've bought spark plugs from these people before (just ordinary copper) no complaints, they do have a faq section which is a good read.

What happened to him? Did he kill himself trying to a set a new 125cc motorcycle land speed record on his 'tuned' cbr125? Laughing

I think he left due to the banter about his push rod beast.

They come as standard when you qualify to be a hotdog.

I agree they are pretty pointless but i did notice that my storm starts much more easily on a cold winters morning with irridium plugs than standards.

Yeah and paul@125power only lives about 30 miles from me, I was going too meet him for him to "prove" how fast his CBA 125 went. That was if my ZX6R had the power to keep up of course.

But then he threw a strop after the lumpy bollocks thread and sent me a PM saying he was not going to meet me.

Crying or Very sad

I was looking forward to see he was talking complete bollocks too. Mr. Green

Bought some iridium NGK's and haven't really noticed any difference at all. I'm sure on a dyno chart you would notice a few miniscule changes but in all honesty I haven't noticed anything.....Only got them as they were going well cheap on ebay.....
