    Which is best?

    Hi After checking the spark plugs it is blatant that I need new ones,...I was running on one cylinder. which is now sorted but need new plugs)

    The question is...which is best.... I have heard of twin spark, iridium, HP, and of course the standard NGK jobbies.

    So which do you folks reckon to give a superb Spark pattern and a bit of whoomf

    Cheers in advance peeps

    standard, cost about £3 each, so £12 for the four. Changing them frequently still makes petrol, bike tax and insurance look cheap

    I've hd Iridiums in my RD04 for atleast 14,000 miles.

    Never missed a beat, and seemingly still as good as the day I fitted them.

    Some people claim they make the bike smoother, and I sortof thought so for a while, but then as someone quite rightly pointed out, I was comparing new Iridiums to the crappy old things I took out!

    Standard will do the job perfectly well, but Iridiums apparently last longer!

    Who knows!?
