I have a 2007 ULY, Should I run NGK Iridium # DCPR8EIX (Hotter) Or NGK Iridium # DCPR9EIX (Colder) plug ? Thanks Tom

After much research and http://www.buelligan.me.uk/pages/hints.htm

I would opt for the cooler DCPR9EIX or 2316 order#. The engine runs plenty Hot and Iridiums #9 do fine with-out fouling.

Would it make more sense to run the 8's during the cooler months??

I stopped worrying about fouled plugs when I sold my last 2 stroke bike in the 70s. I hear lots about fouling plugs on the Uly but haven't had that happen to me or anyone I know who has a Uly. Why pray tell would a Uly foul a plug.

I fouled plugs twice...both times just riding along and whamo ...out of the blue it starts missing..after the Iridiums no more trouble. I use the 8 number...on my second set..I rode the bike across Death Valley in June and across Nevada area 51 and I would say that would classify as "Hot" days...
