    Wow, I got my plugs today from my buddy. Small little tips in there.
    I put the feeler gauge to work on the first plug and the little tip broke.:rant: ( I don't need any pointers on how to gauge a freakin' plug!!!)
    So I went to the second plug and decided to change the front one out.
    the old $1.96 looked a little black and a little (itty bitty tan/red/brown) and pretty good shape for being in there too long. so I put in the good Irriddium and took off. (no black dots of piston material to be seen:) )
    Wow, I knew the engine was a bit flat to me but one of those dang things new made some better revs and less throttle to get moving. Had so much fun I took off and good, and lost my bandanna. I usually wear a skull cap) Anyways, think I'll slip on down to parts store and pick up a set of $4.00NGKs like I normally use and call it a day. Hopefully I can get my money back from the broke plug and I'll put the other in the just in case box with a set of $1.96 plugs. oh well.....New plugs... mighty nice gotta stay on that stuff. Time got away on the set I took out.
    Later
    :D :cool:

    Uhhhh, your bike might perform better but will you? I don't know about sitting on top of iridium for a long time. Be careful!
