Awfull lot of this sounds like made up BS to me !
I think the "KNOCK SENSOR" on anything is " listening" for a high frequency sound wave and when detected reduces the timing.

I dont believe the spark plugs or wires are involved at all.

 

All we ask is for a source of information on this knock sensor software. As far as plugs go, I splurged and put the Pulstar plugs in my bike. I know.... but I work for AAP and at least I can say I use them and make some sales. I haven't noticed a difference though.
Also, the only difference between the different plug grades (copper, platinium, iridium) is the metal. One doesn't work any better than the other, it is how long they take to wear. Copper plugs are just that, copper tip. Platinium is harder than copper and will wear slower these plugs are sold as either single or double platninum, meaning that either just the tip is platinium or both the tip and the electrode are platinium. Iridium is a harder metal than platinium and will wear the slowest.

 

Decided to look at this thread for any new plug info. Nope, no new info. Guess I'm going to look at the plugs tonight since I've had these Accel plugs in for the past five years. Might be time for some new plugs.

 

Long thread, but interesting.

 

I agree totally. I laugh each time I read a post where someone argues with charley and looses miserably LOL And it happens sooo often.

 

my OL has a knock sensor installed between her fun bags.

 

1.) Only know about 1 old Sporty I had
2.) Looking for Charlie next time I'm up! I have the same lean angles on my Heritage plus some engine work...might be fun!

 

So, where were you today? I had the Dragon by the tail all day.

 

Gotta work to ride. May be up there the 27th if I can get away to go camping. Wedding this sat. and I put on a rider skills course week after that. Should be fun if we ever can hook up tho.

 

Too bad, maybe in the Spring then. I'll be headed back south for the winter on the 19th.
