Author Message   Monsterron Posted on Thursday, July 03, 2014 - 09:53 am:        Leaving Sat and I cannot find info on the GOOD SPARKPLUG to use Any help? Thank you   Trojan Posted on Thursday, July 03, 2014 - 09:54 am:        NGK DCPR9IEX Iridium plaus are the very best for Buell use. No fouling like the originals.   Monsterron Posted on Thursday, July 03, 2014 - 10:28 am:        Trojan... THANK YOU SIR   Electraglider_1997 Posted on Thursday, July 03, 2014 - 10:39 am:        Never tried Iridiums but have only fouled one stock plug in 44,000 miles and that was a rear plug at 5,000 miles. Blipping the throttle was the cause so I never blipped anymore and no more fouled plugs. Besides costing more, what do Iridiums provide over the stock plugs because fouling isn't really a problem as far as I'm concerned.   Hughlysses Posted on Thursday, July 03, 2014 - 10:49 am:        Besides costing more, what do Iridiums provide over the stock plugs because fouling isn't really a problem as far as I'm concerned. They'd probably last virtually forever if you wanted to leave them in that long as the iridium electrode is very wear-resistant. I've run the NGK iridiums in both my Uly and my old Honda VT500FT Ascot (which oddly enough, seeing how it's a water-cooled V-twin, uses the same exact plug except as the Buell with a removable widget on top where the spark plug boot snaps on), but I can't honestly say I've been able to see any measurable increase in performance or gas mileage.   Ourdee Posted on Thursday, July 03, 2014 - 07:53 pm:        The Iridiums let my XT start at lower temps with less chance of fouling. I did manage to foul the iridiums though. The colder it was out the more power it made.   Ratbuell Posted on Thursday, July 03, 2014 - 11:27 pm:        10R12A's work just fine in my '06...matter of fact, I just pulled out a set that had 20k miles on them because I figured it was time for new ones. The gap had worn/opened up from .035" to .045"...but other than that...lol. Never fouled one. Ever.
