E3 Spark Plugs
Anyone used these plugs in their scoots yet? Anything to say about 'em?
Will they screw with my PCV/AT by fudging the AFR's too much?

I run either Autolite or just the cheap stock plugs from Harley (yeah, I know even the cheap ones are high priced), not even the platinum ones. They last over 10,000 miles and have never caused me a problem. Why change to something unknown that might?

Noticing the E3 ad on here last week I stopped by my local indy who works on bikes and builds some super sweet choppers. He said never saw any use in the over priced plugs. I once tried some so called super plugs in a truck and saw no noticeable difference.

Looks like a gimmic to me. Had a guy at the auto parts store telling me I needed similar plugs or my 2000 Chevy truck wouldn't run right without them.
Years ago Split fire plugs were promising the same things. Unfortunately they didn't make enough different sizes and the plugs were not a good match (too hot, too cold, too long or too short) for many of the applications they were suggesting them for. Some guys swore by them but most swore at them.

i replaced several sets of splitfires that the ceramic on the electrodes had split and fell off. any new plug of any type will perform better than the worn out plug they replace.
I have had the best results since the early 60s with iron Autolites in virtually any vehicle including Harleys today.

I've used the splitfires in my bike and they were fine. Think I have the harley ones in there now and they're fine too. Bosch I know makes a good plug too. So does Champion and autolite and ngk. The Iridium plugs do indeed last longer, but cost a lot more.

The E3's cost no more than the stock HD plugs.
