Spark plug Bosch or NGK
If you have a bike that fouls plugs easily, particularly with condensation, the pointy electodes of an irridium plug will still spark. My XV535 would get regular plugs wet with fuel and condensation in winter and then refuse to start. Started reliably on iridium.
I personally run NGK without any issues.
these work fantastic.
You can check the forums and it'll say the same thing your asking . It comes down to personal reference ,everyone (including myself ) that I run with in our 3rd gens we run NGK . Just make sure they are dual pronged and gapped correctly and you'll be just fine .
Use NGK iridium and you will have no problems.
Bosch components made in the EU (this is the important part) are in many cases the items that VW installed on the car in the plant, or better. Take the spark plugs for example, Bosch just prints the VW name on it and VW installs it in the engine.
I went with NGK iridium's. The "book" says they should be replaced at 100k. I mostly didn't want to have to fight with them at 100k miles to get them out.
Just swapped out some pretty old looking OEM bosch plugs that were gapped at .045 for some reason. Put in PFR6Q at .032\". Didnt notice much of a change.
iv had mor problems with a brand new bosh plug then any other plug.. even cheap knock off checker brands...
Every time I fill up I check my mileage, I could never get great MPG from the FR8DS, but the coppers were way better MPG wise. Throttle response was less as well. The Silbers always looked more sooty during inspections than the coppers. The silver plug will last longer.
