iridium spark plugs

Post by senicoli »

I notice the price of iridium plugs is falling and was toying with the idea of fitting a set to the 550k wandered if any one had experience of running these in the gts any improvement in running or is it a pointless exercise :?: :) thanks colin

Sorry mate. I have Iridiums fitted to all my bikes and am very happy with the performance of them. I could not put my hand on heart and say they make a significant difference though. Richard (Itsnotateapot) swears by them I recall. Kev

Never had issues with standard NGKs in any Suzuki triple Col, but I do have Iridiums in the car - standard on the Hyundais and last well over 50000 miles.
Can't justify the extra outlay when 'normal' plugs seem to be OK.
