iridium spark plugs question

Post by babulin2002 »

found those on ebay, guy says it's good for the R1100:

IRIDIUM DENSO IK22

anyone has experience with those? what spark plugs are best? is the iridium really worth the money?

thanks a lot, cheers!

Iridium spark plugs will last around 50,000 miles but considering you can change
a spark plug on a Boxer engine in around 3 minutes there seems to be no advantage

If you wanted to fit them to a 4 in line japanese sportsbike which will take around 2 hours
just to locate them, (if you know what you are doing) then i say, yes go for it.

Save your money....try Autolite AP3923's or the Autolite XP's (platinum), which have a $2.00 off coupon downloadable from the Autolite website until November :)
