NGK or Bosch Sparkplugs?
I'm changing out my sparkplugs soon, thinking of a set of Iridium plugs from either NGK or Bosch. What do you guys think? I know plugs are maintanence and not mods, but that doesn't mean one can't be any better than the others? Discuss.

NGK BKR7E Copper plugs have been very very good to me.
The ZEX plugs I tried....not good to me. I haven't tried Bosch.
I do know that you can't go wrong with a set of NGK BKR7E Copper plugs.
EDIT: I just noticed you have a different motor. Well NGKs are good plugs anyway.
Good luck bro.

Hey I put bosch +4's in mine at about 10,000mi and I'm at 18,000 with no problems at all. I usually run 91 as well though with gas prices the way they are I think my motorcycles going to be getting more action soon. I can understand where these people had problems with the BOSCH ones....they're tricky to install, my thin wall spark plug socket wouldn't install them all the way, so I'd have to get it threaded with the socket and then pull the socket off of the plug and get just enough socket over the edges to tighten the in....its not easy, and if not done right can lead to the misfire and fry problems people have had.

The reason you haven't had a problem and wont is because your 07 doesn't have the same ignition system as an 05 or 06. The first gen ignition system is called compression sense ignition, the 07 and later is a standard ignition system with a cam sensor. Compression sense ignition system is a Saturn creation and pretty complicated to explain here. For those who care http://findarticles.com/p/articles/m...11/ai_n9469461. However I would never use anything other than GM simply because GM maintains a higher quality product
Don't shoot me, bikes are my things, not cars, I've been riding Buells since I was 16, and had a car since March......
