    It is not an incorrect information. I just fitted my Iridium plugs 2 days back...I didn't check top speed yet, but I feel there is a bit more thrust than before when I ride, it would be felt better after fitting K&N too.

      What you 'feel' cannot be quantified with facts and figures. You need to have figures to backup what you claim.

      You would need to put your bike on a dyno and compare to the before/after times to really if there was any improvement at all with the 0-60/0-100 times.

        I really don't know how to prove it. Anyways, I don't want to argue unnecessarily. What are you trying to imply here?? Iridium spark Plug is shit and doesn't make a difference right?? Go on and tell it everywhere.

          I would watch the language if I was a newbie around here.

          Anyways, I am trying to imply that iridium spark plugs do not have any effect on performance. On the other hand the other benefit they have is that they last 3 times more than the stock spark plugs and have offer a cleaner combustion. That helps in maintaining a consistent performance throughout its life. So when over a period of time a stock spark plug would tend to have carbon deposition and thus have a drop in performance, the iridium tipped plugs give a consistent performance throughout their life.

          If they were shit, I wouldn't have been using them for the past 52K kms for my ride!

                Watch my language?? I never used any foul/abusive language. Iridium spark plugs don't have any effect on performance? Never mind, some people just like mocking new people around here. You stick to what you say and I will stick to my point. Being a Senior member in a forum doesn't make you a professional, does it? -_-

                    Please do not turn this in to a fight. What praphul says is correct, a simple plug change will not give you any gain in performance what so ever. For that matter neither does just a free flow filter. It takes a lot of effort to churn out power out of an engine. I personally believe in changing the carb it self rather than going for a bigger jet.

                    Long story short: argue about knowledge when you are right.

                      itz like
                      irridium plugs give crisp throttle response ..
                      itz not like the normal spark plug..
                      the pick up thing slighty increases
                      but there aint any difference in top speed an all..
                      all you get is better throttle response...

                        Good debate going on !!, I am watching this, If any FINAL conclusion will come out then I will do experiment on my R15.

                              I agree to Joel, I had personally seen a R15 going haywire after a few months of KnN installation. the best mod to R15 is the exaust I guess.

                                Being a Senior member in a forum doesn't make you a professional, does it?

                                1) Sure you do need to watch the language, its a dignified forum and its expected of all of us to use proper words, it was all he meant( ref- "shitty")

                                2) The ONLY effect Iridium plugs would have would be better throttle response and longetivity, I am sure you feel otherwise but that is what the fact is whether you agree to it or not.

                                3) he never claimed to be a professional he just told you not to disperse myths. Don't take it personally cos it was not meant to disrespect you in any way.

                                Peace
