just a side question. How many take time to index their plugs and swear they get better performance when indexed?

First liar doesn't have a chance

My horsepower and torque stayed the same...

But I don't buy gas. Mine runs on WATER!

And the best part, it's got a nice low grumble at idle, but really barks when I get on it, and I can still listen to the stereo at 143.7 MPH.

We used to index the plugs on our XLT600 Triple snowmobiles...

My buddy swore it made them get down the trail quicker, but I really couldn't tell. But since he had the heated garage and lift, we did it his way.

Pulstars for 10k now. Previous were HD and near new. Figured WTH and tried the pulstars. Bike starts quicker, picked up a little on MPG. Even switched back to HD for a bit to verify results.

I never took the time to do it either.
I just cant wrap my head around having the opening toward the exhaust port to keep the wet fuel spray and air from cooling the spark.

SE indexed. Both mind over matter, to some. For me, just another thing to tinker with, glad I did it. But, then again, I'd rather ride than wax! OHHhhh, he said bad talk! Didn't He?

HD plugs. Others are too hot or too cold, HD makes their plugs specifically for their bikes, so that's good enough for me.

I tried NGK's and my bike threw a code. I don't typically drink the Moco koolaid and maybe I didn't put the plug wire on properly but....... I put in a new set of OEM plugs and no issues. For the 10 dollar difference I've stuck with Moco on this one.
