Default Pulstar plugs

Just noticed an ad for these and decided to read up on them. Anyone have experience with these plugs in their bike? I'm always eager to upgrade the tech in any aspect of the bike.

Well I for one use them. Got flamed for stating that I used them, took the flaming with a grain of salt. Having said that I have logged only a couple thousand miles with them installed. Bike fires up easier, throttle response seems better, exhaust tone seems a bit crisper, mileage seems to have gone down a bit. (don't care about that much)
So far I am happy with them. Ok folks I'm ready-------Flame away

Placebo effect?
I probably wouldn't mess with anything about the stock ignition, unless there was a compelling need to do so. The detonation sensing uses the stock spark plug as a detonation sensor, and that's a function I'd really like to keep working optimally.

Gotcha. Well it seemed like a pretty good idea and made sense. Too good to be true is a common trend...

I had them in for less than 5k miles and started throwing codes. Replaced the Pulstars with the plugs I had taken out when I installed the Pulstars. No more codes. Save your money. Overpriced snake oil.
