well i bought plugs for all my rides. went to canadian tire and wanted NGK's. he looked in his computer and told me the only plug he stocked were NGK iridiums.he said they were $11 bucks a piece plus taxes. ouch!! :mad: and all my bikes have the same plug, so whatever, i bought em and so far so good. the 185 starts on the first pull now and my sx seems to have a bit more snap. i hope they will last cause for 11 bucks a shot it could add up real quick. :cool:

$11 + tax for those is a very fair price.

In the long run they should be cheaper then a $3 plug! They come stock on my 02 Honda CRF 450. They practically never wear out! A lot of guys including me still have the stock plug in. Some got 150 hours on them and they STILL were good.

You should never have to buy another one and the owner after you and after him and after him :D

If they make them for my 225, one is going in for sure.

Are these things better than a regular plug or do they last longer...not to get off the subject to much but how about those spifire plugs anyone use them. They are kind of pricey too.

ngk iridiums are a platinum plug design so they will defenitely last way longer than a standard resistor plug. platinum plugs actually burn a little cooler than a comprable resistor plug. althou you wont gain gobbs of power from any spark plug really, there main purpose is increased service life. we sell em at my work and they range from $7-$11/each in south texas area compared to a regular ngk which is about $2/each.
