Anyone using different than stock plugs?

 

I'm using the SE Platniums in my RK and will be for the foreseeable future because I bought a half dozen on sale for less than the standard ones.

Lots of interchangeable plugs out there,

I run 07 Buell plugs in my Sportster to get around a pinging issue under hard acceleration,they are a cooler plug,really helped,they are a 10r something,Harley plug,the sport uses the same plug as my 05 EG,but no pinging issue with the 05,or I would put those plugs in there also.

 

At 8k miles I installed NGK plugs in my ultra. Soon after the check engine light started coming on. I took it to the dealer and the code was that the rear cylinder had miss fired. This is a common thing I was told. I did some research and changed back to HD plugs. This ended the problem.

Maybe I did not have the plug wires pushed on all the way. I took the bike to the dealer three times to have the codes cleared. They could not find a problem. The bike ran fine, I never noticed a miss fire.

Try a different brand and if you have the same problem you can always go back to HD plugs.

 

Keep in mind that the plugs and wires are a part of the Ion Sensing system that HD uses as a means of detonation sensing. Plugs that offer a resistance that differs from stock could cause performance problems.

 

Why would you want to?

 

I run Autolite 4164's for one because they are alot cheaper than the HD pricewise and just as good if not better.

 

I run the same plug. Cost me about 1.50 each at advance auto. HD plugs are about 13.00 a pair!

 

I was thinking about the SE triple platinum. I have always run a platinum plug in my other vehicles. Just a thought. I am getting ready for my 1000k (actually 1500) change to a synthetic oil, do my stage 1, pipes and was going to do plugs too.

 

Autolite, NGK, Champions are fine. All that thrwoing codes is a bunch of crap.
