Iridium plugs...worth the money?

[dognvenus]

If this is a duplicate thread, sorry....I did a search and didn't find this topic yet.

Are you using ngk (or another brand) iridum plugs and in what motor?

Do you notice any improvment? What kind of improvement (economy/power/longevity)?

Do you feel they are worth the extra money?

i don't think they're worth the money if you're putting them into a 2-stroke. i know someone who put them in his triple and he said it made a little difference but they fouled out on him within a short time and he put in regular plugs since he didn't want to spend the money on the iridiums again

Tried it. No difference in my 07 D7 except the 6 pack of beer worth of price difference..... ummmm beer...... Stick to regular plugs unless you are running some super high performance street vehicle~~

I have tried NGK Iridium plugs in a couple 440 fans and did not notice any changes. I was mainly looking to see if helped with cold and warm starting.
I have also used them in Jet skis with 720 and 951 motors and could not tell a difference over regular NGK.

I have used them. I didn't really notice any difference in performance or fuel economy, but they do seem less prone to fouling (I don't think I've ever fouled one). But that might be because I'm not a "ride it like you stole it" kind of guy. If you consistently ride at higher speeds and don't have a fouling problem anyhow, then it's a moot point.
