Smile Iridium spark plug NGK CR7EIX

Hi folks have just fitted an iridium spark plug to my tenere, after getting over the shock of the price �15 !!!! I have to say it HAS made a difference to the running its definitely smoother and the vibration patch at 4000rpm is still there but has reduced noticeably also importantly the low end flexibility has improved i can now potter along at 2500 rpm on a neutral throttle in fifth gear without the drive jerking away, granted at this revs only very gentle acceleration can be expected but its still better.These findings were immediately obviouse within a mile of driving away. The standard spark plug looked perfect with a light brown arm and no erosion on gap size as the bike has only done 5000 miles. After doing a long run around wales two days ago, 295 miles preston to bala then barmouth then up the coast road back to Betsycoed then A494 to A55 and return home, the improvement is still apparent. I recommend this plug.
