    conventional
    G power
    Iridium

    whats the difference between these three and which one should i get ?
    Go for the Iridum IX... better fuel efficiency is the main thing u will notice... they say good throttle response, no cold starts etc. etc...

          Pls check the original recommendation from the Manual and use the cross reference to find your correct plug in NGK. NGK Partfinder Catalogues

          Generally, regular plug - Rs 75, Platinum Plug (G Power) - Rs 140, Iridium Plug - Rs 550.

          • is the iririum worth 475 bucks more ? i dont mind spending 140 but 550 is kind of pushing it.

            • NGK CR8EIX for Yamaha FZ series...

              hello friends...
              im from kolkata and i ride a Yamaha Fazer...rode Bajaj Pulsar 150 for the past 4 years....
              my new beast is just 16days old...done 600 kms...changed the engine oil to YamaLUBE semi-synthetic (R15) and the spark plug to CR8EIX @ 400kms...
              Initially i was also confused regarding the model no of the IX plug as it is not posted on the NGK partfinder list...
              Went down to Wellington(world famous in kolkata for Bike accessories and modification)...had a trusted guy...he chekced onto his catalogue and told me that there was no IX for Fazer/FZ(same "part finder" thing that is posted on the NGK site) but also said that many FZ users hav put on the CR8EIX to their FZ's and dre's been not a single complaint...initially CR8EIX is recommended for Yamaha R15.
              Went on with my gutt feeling...bought the CR8EIX...till now no porblem...
              I didnot notice any considerable change like better throttle response or increased top end etc etc...may be because its a new bike only 400 kms done when changed to IX...hopefully 3-4years older bikes would revvup and cold starts wouldnt b a problem if fitted with IX. But i would like to draw your attention to one change that i have felt though yet to verify it, is that mileage has increased by atleast 3-4kms...im hopefull that it will further increase after the 1st service since before installin IX i was getting not more than 30kmpl....and according to SVC guys FZ series gives a mileage of 35-40 in city conditions.

              Im attaching some pics of the 200km old CR8EIX on my Fazer which i took about half an hour ago...i would like your views on its condition...
              Thank You

              • Can any1 plz tell me where can i find NGK dealer in Mumbai, probably near Bandra area ??

                Comment


                • i have a race on sunday to attend .. apparently the track is designed for low-range grunt. dont see myself pushing the bike beyond optimum torque-band of 3rd gear frankly.so, keeping that in mind can anyone suggest the perfect spark plug for the R15.I'M running a two brothers racing exhaust kit which i guess messed with my AFR ratio so anyone with expert tweaks to the possible iridium spark plugs i might install and tune, is highly appreciated . cheers. (P.S: Im very apprehensive about my local mechanic experimenting with his own tweaks and would appreciate a spark-plug buy/install/tweak/tune/run expert for the R15 TO COMMENT . CHEERS ! THIS IS URGENT IN THE NEXT 12 HRS .Thanks.

                      • ngk spark plugs in pulsar 180 dtsi ug3

                        hi guys....
                        i am planning to install ngk spark plugs on my p180 ug3 for sometime now. recently, one thing came to my mind that apache rtr's have twin head spark plugs and by far what i know one of the pulsar's spark plugs stop functioning after 6000rpm to maintain fuel efficiency. so i was thinking why not get two ngk apache spark plugs for my ride. that way i'll have effectively four heads sparking at a time and two heads active even after 6K rpm.

                        just wanted to from u guys whether i'm right or wrong?
                        and what are the pros n cons of using rtr sparks and pulsar sparks?
                        both ngk and company made.

                            Here's the info for you - Frequently Asked Questions: DENSO Iridium. IMO, you may not even see any significance increase in acceleration.
