I'm thinking they have about 35,000 miles on them....  The front one is on the left, rear is on the right... | ||

What brand and part number are these? Look mighty good for 35,000 milers! | ||

NGK DCPR9EIX Got them from American Sport Bike.... | ||
| Wolfridgerider |
I'm pretty sure I changed them out at 10,000 miles.... just turned 45,000 miles. Its winter.... I'm bored... time to do some maintenance | ||

Iridium, platinum, or do you know? | ||

NGK DCPR9EIX Iridium Froggy, I'm not that bored yet.... | ||
| Someday |
Froggy will take pictures while you do the wrenching. Ask me how I know!  (Message edited by someday on January 14, 2010) | ||

Awesome! Though that is really also a testament to how well your engine has been running. | ||

I am good, just am due for tires, oil, and just about everything else on 3 bikes. The 1125R just needs oil. The XB needs a front end. I sat in the garage last weekend on my stool thinking to myself "Now I know why those guys in Danbury hated seeing my Uly come in for the next service every 5 or 6 weeks". Photos are great  (Message edited by froggy on January 14, 2010) | ||

Just ordered 2 sets of those plugs!  Also switched over to 'winter oil' in the Uly, and was able to take both bikes out for good half hour rides today. | ||
| Ulynut |
Looks like your bike is in good hands there Froggy! Cold, but good. | ||
| Fung |
the center electrodes look done. | ||

Iridium plugs aren't to big when they are new.. | ||
| Mikef5000 |
These things are tiny new! I just picked up my pack 'o 4.  | ||
| Mikef5000 |
On a related note... what should these bad lads be gapped at? | ||
| Wolfridgerider |
Hey Mike, where did you get yours from? | ||
| Mikef5000 |
Advance Auto. They had to order them in, but it took less than 24 hours to get them. $9.08 each If I had other stuff I needed with them, I would've ordered them from American Sport Bike, I just hate to pay shipping on something this small. | ||
| Wolfridgerider |
Nice! | ||

Gaping irridiums can be tricky not to do damage! I just put mine in as they came - 16K miles and still very sparky. | ||

"Iridium plugs aren't to big when they are new.." wow! You arn't kidding! | ||

Roger that. | ||
| Stevewauk |
Besides lasting longer, has there been any noticeable performance difference between the OEM and Iridium plugs? | ||
| Etennuly |
They don't foul when cold nearly as easily as the stock plugs will. | ||
| Etennuly |
Mikey, for the most part, unless it is something otherwise specific, plugs will be gapped from the factory for what they fit. Rather than risking the fairly fragile tip, I just check that the grounding electrode is at it's original 90 angle. |
