'06 XB9SX

Went to Cycle Gear today to pick up some NGK Iridium spark plugs.

They gave me part # BR8EIX. I have not put them in yet.

Is that the correct part number or do I need to exchange them?

Also; any recommendations on new plug wires?

Thanks in advance.

DCPR9EIX9 is the one you want.

Another alternative is Denso Iridium Sparkplugs - IXU24

The upgraded Buell plug wires, which you already have on your 06 are fine for the job if they are still intact.

High price wire isn't going to do anything unless you get a bright color, in which case you will get a "bling upgrade".

What's the dif between the 8 and 9 ? besides one being hotter than the other. If both are good how do you determine wich one you need ?

9's are for XB's and the 8's are for the Tubers. Unless you intend to go to that heat range.

Depends where and how you ride. Hot weather and harder riding requires cooler plugs. I use a hotter plug in winter and a cooler plug in summer. Too hot of a plug and you have quick erosion of the plug and potential for preignition. Too cold of a plug and you get fouled plugs.

Advice: Use the cooler plug in the rear jug and the hotter plug in the front jug. Pull them out in 5,000 miles and compare them. Look online to see what an example of a "just right" plug is and see if you're in range.

Advice, part 2: Don't worry, they're likely close enough to optimum.

The standard plugs for the XB's are Harley 10R12A. The NGK iridium cross reference plug is DCPR8EIX 12mm thread and 3/4" length.

The part number you listed "BR8EIX" has a 14mm thread and 3/4" length. It will not fit.

IXU24 - brings you across to the 7 NJK heat range as in 10r7 or 10R6
not good for Tubers either who where upgraded to XB heat range plugs last spark plug bulletin from the factory which is 10R12.

10R12 equivelent to 9dcpr range = DCPR9EIX which is equal to IXU27 - or the TOL - IXU01-27 that I run.

Straight up 10R12 - DCPR9X - DCPR9EIX - IXU27 - IXU01-27 - that is the plug line up for Buell from bottom to the top - cross reference off these numbers and your safe heat range is guaranteed - Going hotter on a hot motor is not a good idea - which is why Buell went cooler.

You must have access to a different cross reference chart or choose to run a colder plug.
This is the ND chart for Buell http://www.globaldenso.com/cgi-bin/global/plug/usa /mc/mc-plug.cgi?action=search&filename=mc-28.txt

This is the ND cross reference chart for Harley plugs.

Buell service people here are telling people to remove the iridium plugs.

Does anyone know why the DCPR9EIX should not be used in an XB? Maybe some were fitting 8's and perhaps were a problem.

DCPR9EIX Is what I have been running in the midwest. I have no running issues or hard start with these. X1 with Race stuff.
