Author Message   Kinder Posted on Saturday, March 26, 2011 - 06:27 pm:        So anyone try anything different? Stock is the CR9EKB which is fine but since its time to change them out I'm considering options like Brisk Silver. Thoughts?   Nillaice Posted on Saturday, March 26, 2011 - 07:36 pm:        i've always liked NGK. and they are usually cheaper than most ... but maybe that's why. i'll never buy into the 'E-3' or diamond-fire schemes.http://www.e3sparkplugs.com/diamondfire.htm it's not gonna spark across all 3 points every time. ... but maybe the extra grounding electrodes taking up air space in the combustion chamber will up your compression a 0.01:1 now here's some thing completely different http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main_page=product_ info&cPath=2&products_id=5 i'm sure some plug aficionado will school us all but IMHO; as long as it goes 'spark' ...   Kinder Posted on Saturday, March 26, 2011 - 07:45 pm:        lol... not sure I can trust a company that also sells stuff like this. http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main_page=product_ info&products_id=17 'Patented high-tech design allows KaleCoAuto Plug/Wire cleaner to reclaim old spark plugs and wires! Did you know that tune-ups are completely unnecessary? The only reason your car has bad spark is dirt in the plug lines, and build up on the spark plugs! Simply pour this cleaner into your battery, step back, and watch the engine run smoother! Not for use on vehicles equipped with Opti-Spark. Now reformulated for compatibility with diesel engines!'   Kidder Posted on Saturday, March 26, 2011 - 09:22 pm:        Another vote for NGK.   Zac4mac Posted on Saturday, March 26, 2011 - 09:43 pm:        I like the OEM plugs, but replace them when they say. Mine are shot after 12k miles every time. These plug-over coils are HOT. I've never seen "worn out" plugs before, I've just had to replace the old black ones... 26k so far Z   Boogiman1981 Posted on Saturday, March 26, 2011 - 09:46 pm:        man i hadn't seen the kale co site in a looooooooong time. lol   Fast1075 Posted on Sunday, March 27, 2011 - 07:22 am:        If a spark plug will reliably work in a motor with 15-1 compression at 12k with 100 hp of nitrous on top. it is a good plug....NGK But what ever one you choose, the proper heat range, gap and installation are critical. If there is a problem with electrode erosion, iridium plugs are much longer lived than "platinum" plugs.   1_mike Posted on Sunday, March 27, 2011 - 12:41 pm:        There's no magic in spark plugs. Never has been. But you can spend a small fortune for the mythical wonder plugs. And get nothing but a lighter wallet..! The only benefit to "some" plugs is a longer life because of the better electrode materials used. Mike   Torquaholic Posted on Sunday, March 27, 2011 - 12:51 pm:        I had some iridium plugs for a short while... went back to stock and it feels better with stock plugs. another vote for stock plugs   Gbaz Posted on Monday, March 28, 2011 - 07:51 am:        i put a set of denso in. no problems, work great. they were expensive, but should last a long time. i would take denso iridium over ngk iridium any day, and ngk iridium over stock. http://www.globaldenso.com/en/products/aftermarket /plug/racing/features.html   Swoop Posted on Monday, March 28, 2011 - 09:06 am:        THEY ALSO SELL THIS STUFF, MAYBE THATS WHY THE 1125R HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR SIGNALS!!!!! http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main_page=product_ info&products_id=6   Pmjolly Posted on Monday, March 28, 2011 - 09:25 am:        Now THAT'S FUNNY Swoop! There are so many needed items on that site! This is a little more in line with this thread, however. http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main_page=product_ info&products_id=5   Fast1075 Posted on Monday, March 28, 2011 - 09:52 am:        NGK=DENSO..same company like JOHNSON=EVENRUDE...   Pmjolly Posted on Monday, March 28, 2011 - 09:56 am:        Well, I guess this shows I did not read the whole thread before I posted.   Kinder Posted on Monday, March 28, 2011 - 12:42 pm:        I SOOO need that blinker fluid stuff!!! And maybe some cross drilled brake lines! http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main_page=product_ info&cPath=1&products_id=1 So no comments on silver plugs.... as it stands I guess maybe I'll stay with stock since its a pita to change them.   Rt_performance Posted on Tuesday, March 29, 2011 - 01:09 am:        I emailed NGK tech. They do not recommend a irduim for our bikes. Mine looked fine at 10,000 miles but had them out for a valve adjust so i put in a new set   Redduck124 Posted on Tuesday, March 29, 2011 - 12:33 pm:        I got a set of these on order... http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main_page=product_ info&cPath=1&products_id=4   Kinder Posted on Tuesday, March 29, 2011 - 09:27 pm:        did they say why RT?   Rt_performance Posted on Wednesday, March 30, 2011 - 12:51 am:        Hello, For this application we only recommend using the CR9EKB (dual ground). Unfotunately none of our iridium IX series plugs that would work in this application have the correct terminal nut configuration for the Buell’s wire set. MAKE YEAR ENGINE CLASS MODEL REGULAR PLUG STK NO. GAP BUELL 2010-2008 1125 1125CR, R CR9EKB # 2305 .032 Regards, Brandon Peeler Product Coordinator NGK Spark Plugs (U.S.A.), INC 46929 Magellan Drive there is the response.   Kinder Posted on Wednesday, March 30, 2011 - 01:23 am:        So they are saying they don't have a cap for the iridium plugs that will fit our wires? That seems lame. Ty for the response though.   Kicka666 Posted on Wednesday, March 30, 2011 - 06:38 am:        I run the CR9EIX in my CR, I used the terminal nuts off my Brisk plugs from my Ricey race bike as easy as that...   Kinder Posted on Wednesday, March 30, 2011 - 01:36 pm:        Hey Kicka... why Brisk in the race bike but not the CR?   Kicka666 Posted on Wednesday, March 30, 2011 - 04:44 pm:        Kinder, I had 2 CR9EIX laying around so they went in, if I wanted brisk plugs had to order internationally as they are $40AU here..   Ezblast Posted on Wednesday, March 30, 2011 - 11:15 pm:        Why no on the Denso - I really like them. EZ   Dcmortalcoil Posted on Thursday, March 31, 2011 - 02:29 am:        I have Denso Iridium plugs on my 1125R with no problem. Got the race version, but others versions are the exact same size and fit.   Gbaz Posted on Thursday, March 31, 2011 - 07:41 am:        same here on the denso. it took some work cross ref them, but when i was having the water pump fixed the dealer put em in for me.   Kinder Posted on Thursday, March 31, 2011 - 12:55 pm:        So decided to try some Brisk AOR10LGS plugs. Other bikes that use the same factory plug as us seem to like them so I figure why not. One interesting thing I found was how many different interval changes there are on different bikes with the same plugs.   Captain_america Posted on Friday, April 01, 2011 - 02:43 am:        Get the cross drilled front brake lines... for extra cool stopping power!
