Review on NGK CR8EIX Iridium IX Spark Plug for Enhanced Performance - 1 Pack by Justin Frazier

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Expensive - is it worth it? May be!

I own three motorcycles. When it comes time to change the candles, I always pay extra and buy iridium candles. They're between $7-$10 each so aren't cheap, but I want my bike to perform perfectly and purr like a cat when I'm riding a short distance through the mountains or starting cross country. No hassle, no problem. My bike starts first time every time, runs smooth, has high mileage and no issues when I'm away from home. So are they worth the price difference? Since I drive about 20,000 miles a year, I'd rather pay the difference for idea plugs and enjoy a carefree ride than have a breakdown somewhere far from home. You give me peace of mind. money well spent. Buying an NGK is a personal preference. I have NGK in my street bikes, ATVs and in my youth I used NGK in my off-road bikes. I am satisfied with their performance and durability. UPDATE: I just bought a second set of NGK CR8EIX spark plugs for my 2008 Yamaha FJR1300. They work great on my street bike, I've also installed them on both ATV's, my 2012 Yamaha WR450F and my Suzuki 650 Burgman. I prefer these corks because under no circumstances do they get dirty. I replace them at 24,000 miles on my FJR simply because I'm getting my bike ready for a long ride, so no matter how long they last, I need new spark plugs for that ride. I see this as another step in preparing for a long journey and I don't want to get distracted. The cost, yes, it's a few extra dollars, so what. If you can't afford to run as well as you can, you might want to consider making a lifestyle change! You pay a little more for the best air filter, the best tires, the best equipment, then don't worry about the little things, take care of your car so it can take care of you!
