  1. What its the benefit to the NGK iridium over the NGK standard? Or is there even an advantage.
  2. I haven't had my Gen 1 all that long and I did not know anything about the spark plug condition. I found a tip sheet that said that the best plug for my bike would be the NGK DPR8EX-9. It was not a big deal to find the plugs and replace the current NGK Iridium DPR8EIX-9 plugs. The Iridium plugs looked pretty good when I removed them. Since I have installed the new plugs I have noticed that the bike doesn't run as well. Cold starting isn't as snappy as it had been and the engine is a little lethargic when rolling off of idle. Outside of that I cant tell much difference. Was the Iridium plug really the better plug? Ray
  3. I checked out the other threads on this plug topic and came up with two plugs. The original NGK-DPR8EA-9 (Napa - $2.29 each, I purchased today) and this plug in a IRIDIUM NGK-DPR8EIX-9 (Napa - $10.00 each). Napa did not recommend the Iridium, when I asked if they knew anything about them. Napa parts person said the Iridium have been known to burn holes or pits in the top of the pistons. I was planning on using the original plugs anyway. So far I have figured out that the tank and dog bones has to be removed to get the plugs out. Any further advise and help in any way here is appreciated. James (Fuzzy)
  4. Anyone know what the gap should be on the NGK Iridium plugs? Should it be the same gap as the NGK standards (.031-.035)
  5. Ok, I installed a set of NGK Iridium plugs 18,000 miles back. Replaced them last week, just because---Here is photo of what the old ones look like if anybody is interested. Bike was still running good on this set.
  6. Does anyone know the part number for the iridium spark that would be a direct replacement for stock on a 2007 midnight venture
  7. I have around 50,000 mile on my 02 Midnight. This year maintenance I will be removing the carburetors for cleaning, lubing and adjusting the steering, replacing the fuel filter, spark plugs (Iridium), rear breaks pads, new rear Avon tire, Air Filters, Clearview windshield and oil/filter. These part number and pricing may be some help. Yamaha Fuel Filter: 1FK-24560-10 $12.19 (Dealer) Spark Plug: "Iridium" NGK DPR8EIX-9 (2202) $9.99 each Total $39.96 (Dealer) Break Pads rear: EBC FA124HH (HH for heat) $21.19 (JC Whitney) Air Filters: K&N YA-1399 $82.20 (JC Whitney) Tire Avon Venom: 150/90HB-15 305321 $123.95 (Southwest Moto Tires) Clearview Windshield XXLarge: $135.00+shipping (Clearview Shields)
