THis might be the time to try em as they are only a couple bucks more than NGK. I dont know, but Ive been told, that you get a better spark, faster starts, better MPG etc......
Who knows?

Is this E3.36 the size that fits our bikes? I'm well satisfied with my NGK Iridium plugs.

I am currently running E3s on the bike, and have not noticed any real difference.

I put them in a couple of different mowers a few years ago and they made a huge difference.

If you want better plugs buy the NGK iridiums. E3's are a joke..

I dont know, I have also tried the Irridium, and they are very expensive compared to NGK s, and not worth the money IMO.

I just put in a set of the iridiums this winter. I really like them. Bike seems to start better and runs great . Last set I'll need to buy for it too..

E3.36? My question too. At 41000 miles a change is in order, original plugs are good but a new set may alone help , or maybe not.

Thanks R H, I now have them on my way. Is there a gap adjustment and if so is it different than stock. I have always wondered if they worked as advertised? My Beast requires a little more encouragement to start once warmed up.
