Re: spark plug poll
I run Champion plugs in both of my bikes. I do change them at each fluids change (interval of around 3k miles): engine oil, transmission gear lube, primary fluid, oil filter, plugs.
TQ

Re: spark plug poll
With plugs other than the HD plugs and champion plugs, the possibility of effect on the ION sensing is more possible because of a resistance value that the system operated with.
Other brands and types of plug have little benefit other than the additional cost of the plug.

Re: spark plug poll
As Bubbie says, the HD plugs are fine...I did opt for the gold colored ones for about a $1 or 2 more, the gold faded a bit, but no evidence of corrosion on the exposed metal so I am sticking with the gold colored ones...JMO!

I used to run NGK b/c they worked best in my snowmobiles, but HD's plugs are cheaper & never had any issues. |
