If someone says they found a better plug and can feel the difference just
Nod and say "Cool",,,they prolly just needed new plugs,,
IF you go aftermarket on the wires make shure you get the exact
same conductor material and construction.
The ECM will not know why you went with thicker guage,,so don't.
The ECM could get very pissed off If you use a wire set made out of some hyped up
new material.

Things change when you go Hi-compression or run super Bad *** fuels
like Alcohol.

Things like Tridium spark plugs will last longer but why spend the coin.
Regular plugs are Cheap and work fine.
Besides ya get to change em at 10K miles and If ya get off on stuff like
that you can keep takin them In and Out all ya want,,lol
Re Gapping an cleaning at 5k Is a good Idea,,,3k If ya ride hard.

I'd like a set of cool red plug wires tho,,,for the bling factor XD
