          I recently got NGK Iridium for my bullet 350(CI). Initially everything was looking good, but yesterday when i observed, i saw black smoke coming from the silencer. When i checked the spark plug, it was badly fouled, full of carbon.
          I tested the plug and it was not giving strong spark which could be seen easily, but i was able to hear some tik tik sound. The other normal spark plug is giving a spark. Do i need to change the wiring or iginition coil?
          I think the dealer has given me a duplicate iridium, i am attaching a pic of the plug, can you guys please let me know if this is good or not
          Plug - NGK Iridium
          Model - BR6HIX
          Using on bullet 350 CI.

          P.S :- The bike is running fine, pick up is also fine, getting 27kmpl.
          seems you have a lot of carbon deposits there..there're more than 1 answer for you..
          1. maybe you've got the TOO TIGHT valve tappet clearance
          2. maybe you're running on a wrong heat number [too cold] of plug (you said you're using BR6HIX right? what's the stock plug is? BR6H?)
          3. if those option not the issue, then you're running on a RICH mixture.. (wrong jetting, wrong mixture calibration, or maybe a DIRTY air cleaner?)
          4. you need to replace you're plug

          forget about the 4th answer since you mention black smoke from silincer..black smoke means "RICH" mixture

            let me tell you my story,
            my RTR got BOSCH UR5DDC as stock plug, and give me alot of problem (says the engine RPM suddenly ROSE up to 4000RPM without any throttle!!!)
            lately the tvs guys never sold those plug anymore, instead they're seeling UR3DDC..tried it once, guess what? it suddenly ROSE to 2500RPM without any throttle!!! well, better than 4000RPM right? then i switch to NGK and DENSO plug, never had any problem with those plug anymore..
            what a damn bosch plugs!

              Higher the number colder the plug heat range,using colder plug may lead to carbon fouling, and too hot plug may cause engine damage,Stick to manufacturer recommendation

              • Would the installation of a K&N filter made for the Pulsar 220 Dtsi have a effect on the spark plugs ? the fuel-air mix will be lean, the engine would run hot as more air would flow thru the free flow filter.

                • I own a FZ16, i changed stock plugs to NGK iridium CR9EIX and also fitted a K&N high flow filter. When a lean mixture burns will it effect the life or efficiency of engine. You have any suggestions in this.

                  • After using standard spark plugs for my bike, yesterday I installed NGK G-Power Platinum tipped spark plugs for my 2008 Pulsar 180 UG3. Got them directly from a distributor in Goa. 2 pieces of spark plugs costed me Rs.290 in total.

                    After installing them I found that my bikes performance has improved marginally, yet this marginal improvement is quite well noticeable in every gear I shift. This improvement is more prominent in the initial revs upto 5000rpm to enable my bike gain acceleration really well than previous.

                    I havent used Iridium plugs yet on my bike. Hence cant comment in comparison to them.

                          • My R15 service manual asks me to replace spark plug after the 1st 12k kms and I am already past that.
                            1. Is the change interval similar to other bikes?
                            2. What options do I have if I go for replacement? (Heard of NGK Iridium, costs 600 bucks I think for R15. Are user reviews on this?)

                                What kind of funny sound are you mentioning??
                                I am using the same model for my unicorn. When ever I ride her I don't feel like stopping the bike just feel like cruising it around. The bike has become more soft and love u have to put it to belive it for unicorn specially no problems till now did 200 km till now using these plugs. Good purchase I hope...
                                Also there is no heat from the engine or any black smoke.
