Smoother idle & better performance. Didn't gap 'em. Put 'em in right out of the box. The Iridium's & Mobil 1 V-Twin 20-50 are the 2 best things I've done to this bike. Been running the Mobil 1 V-Twin for a while. I put the irridium plugs in at the same time that I re-jetted my carb, so I can't completely attribute the improvement of my bike's performance to one thing or the other, but with all these, she runs like a champ. Just under 17,000 miles now.   Logged     ...I am just sayin...   The administrator has disabled public write access. #274722 Agpilot (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1568 Re:iridium plugs - again 7 Years, 10 Months ago   I changed my plugs recently, and just used the plain ngk plugs... I have put the iridium plugs in my venture 2 years ago... the reason is for longevity.. hard to get to on the bike... I never noticed any difference in performance or fuel mileage with the more expensive plugs... to get a better spark, a change in wires and coils, etc etc would be required....   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #278204 lloydh72 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 27 Re:iridium plugs - again 7 Years, 10 Months ago   i am taking that we only have 4 spark plugs total for a 2006 roadstar?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #278215 Erbman02 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 7000 Re:iridium plugs - again 7 Years, 10 Months ago   hotballz72 wrote: i am taking that we only have 4 spark plugs total for a 2006 roadstar? yes, 4. and don't forget to use anti-seize on the threads, and remove plugs on a cold engine as well   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #278346 lloydh72 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 27 Re:iridium plugs - again 7 Years, 10 Months ago   what's a good name brand for spark plug wires to go along with the iridium ngk spark plugs? is that all i have to change is plugs and wires? i have stock 1700 roadstar i'm just trying to keep up with maintenance.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #278362 Erbman02 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 7000 Re:iridium plugs - again 7 Years, 10 Months ago   stock ignition coil wires are hard wired into the coil. no replacement   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #278417 N0THD (User) Always getting there- never done.
