NGK DCPR9IEX Iridium plaus are the very best for Buell use. No fouling like the originals. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
