    Hi

    I put an iridium plug in my bike today and had an immediate improvement in power! Very nice.... I was advised cmcpo it does no damage. All good!


    My question is can I run higher octane fuels now like 97+ octane with no damage to piston or valves etc? Will it leave bad carbon deposits in the engine after a while or will the iridium plug cover that? Any help will be appreciated. Cheers

    You can run higher octane if you want but all it will do is cost you money ! You won't get any extra performance unless you tune the engine to take advantage of the higher octane - ie higher compression and more ignition advance .

    Hi I put in a ngk dr8eix or something. Just ask your local guys for the ngk iridium version of the ngkr dr8e. And I woud say use super unleaded. I am and its made a big difference. Just a suggestion. Iv kinda been told not to but to be honest I half filled the tank with super unleaded and its made a difference. So next time as in tomorrow im putting a tank of 97 octane in. :)

    Dear Steve,

    Very happy to see you slavering over a new bike, and look forward to your reports about getting back on the road after being meganized. Are you all healed up? Is the financial resolution complete? You must be champing at the bit to get riding again. Do hope you'll share your experience!

    cheers from Shanghai
