Autolite
AutoliteHas anyone fitted iridium spark plugs?
What type are you using?
Taking the fairing off seems to be a little awkward on this bike,
So I'd like to change to iridium plugs and forget about them.
Thanx for the tip, Gregg. Are you giving away company secrets?...AutoliteHas anyone fitted iridium spark plugs?

One of my customers works for Autolite and he was the lead engineer on making this plug...so I use them and they work real well and they retail for $7.00 ea....Big savingsThanx for the tip, Gregg. Are you giving away company secrets?...

Manual says "replace at 7,000 miles or 12 months and thereafter every 6,000 miles or 12 months".How long are the original plugs supposed to last?
The original is NGK CR8E or #1275 . Has a copper core and nickel tip. Hope this helps you source in your area.Can someone post up the compatible part number(s)? Since I'm in Canada, it makes it harder to get everything so if I can source it locally that would be ideal.
Is the stock plug a Copper or Silver tip? I was thinking that would be the only reason to replace it after only a year. I'd like to get at least a Platinum tipped plug but I know sometimes its tricky to get the same heat range.
Thanks Randy - I'm wondering what the equivalent platinum or iridium part would be? Tried looking up a cross reference but its a bit confusing
I'm surprised by the short plug replacement intervals too. I purchased two NGK CR8EIX plugs recently and will install them next season, but will likely have them in the bike for at least a few years.Manual says "replace at 7,000 miles or 12 months and thereafter every 6,000 miles or 12 months".
I've personally never heard of a spark plug deteriorating while the bike is sitting idle, so that "every 12 months" thing is a puzzler!
