I doubt you would notice any difference, someone please correct me if they are the bees knees and do actually increase power

They would have to be really worth it, you have to dismantle most of the quad to get at the spark plug on the scrambler !!

It does seem to make my throttle response quicker.

Thats a good thing, has anyone tried an `IKAT` yet, i think they fit between the coil and the spark plug cap and are meant to give a noticeable power increase .

well you see the prob is, i got stuck once and the spark went so i was forced to change the spark in deep water that was filling my boots, but someone i no uses iridium sparks and he say's that he has not had to chage it for five years!:eek::cool::cool:

i don't no about the difference, i am just after the lasting:cool:

Five years, that sounds good, I have tried some of the different spark plugs over the years on my bikes and the only difference as far as I am concerned has been the price .

Probably one of those mods that work out best when your doing an overall upgrade of other power related components :D

Did i sound as if i knew what i was talking about there lol lol . Its ok RP know i dont !!!

Some people say they make a difference , some don't. I would guess that anything that improves the conductivity and quality of the spark would be good but wont necessirly make a difference that you can feel or measure.

i think they only work in young bike's so max 7 yrs old or around there, new bike's you might feel a difference but don't no, i will get one for new bike as they give you crappy cheap stuff with new bike's:cool::cool:

i think you just have to pick the right one:cool:

they do not make any differance but they do last longer than a normal type plug
the reson people think they make a differance is because they are changing it from a worn out old plug
they do help though in 2 stokes though as normal plugs dont last very long at all
just my opinion and from what i have been told

In my opinion, your opinion is correct, two strokes do foul up the plugs and they dont last as long as a cleaner running four stroke .

They are designed to work better under hotter conditions.

I will check my plug one day and when I replace it will get the same as what is already fitted because it works well .
