the ix's (iridium) are not worth the cost, all i noticed when i tried them is that the bike wanted a small gap,(think it ended up being .012) have no clue why,
i prefer to put a new plug in every time i go to the track (yes i know you can go alot longer on a plug), so picking up 4 packs of br9egs is much more economical then the ix's
thats just me
