Irdium plugs gap should not be adjusted, once its adjusted say bye bye
you will never get that perfection back. only option left to change to newer one.

The gap between the electrode shouldn't be adjusted in the irdium plugs, we have to use it asit is, here is a snap of it.

Its the mechanics and service centers guyz who screw it up, in my case my mechanic screwed it up even inspite of me telling him that it was a iridium plug and telling him not to play around with the gap .

BTW i had the same questions when i bought a RTR
1.i am using NGK iridium spark plug .. feels better .. it dosent make a difference if its a single or double electrode .. remember the spark is always 1
i observed a slight better pickup and millege
2.kn filter .. well even i wanted to for it but as few said that it may ruin the engine i opted out

3. for you .. power 1 is the best ..after 10000 kn if you can afford then power 1 racing is the ultimate choice

i can feel the acceleration[as i own a old model] and millege has been increased by 5km/lt
think about the airfilter

spark plug cost 550Rs per piece
and KN RC1060 cost 1800 here in HYDERABAD
