I finally changed mine after 4 years and 26 k miles , they still looked good . probably could go a few thousand more.
Those don't seem to have the projected tip of the OEM plugs.TE2BA said:After 5000 miles. Running great and the plugs look great, too.

Denso says 0.5mm projected, so you don’t see it visually. That’s the whole point of me trying and reporting if you use iridium plugs elsewhere, but not been able to find one for S10 in your country. All I’m showing here is the plug works as it claims and it looks fine for few tens of thousands of miles now.WJBertrand said:Those don't seem to have the projected tip of the OEM plugs.
Manual calls to check spark plugs every 4K miles and replace every 12k miles FYI.BaldKnob said:Youse guys looking at yer plugs with 5K miles have too much time on your hands. Ride more, worry less. Tenere is Tonka Tough.
And the Collective's information is saying that is way too conservative.TE2BA said:Manual calls to check spark plugs every 4K miles and replace every 12k miles FYI.

It can be argued, (and is all the time) that some preventative maintenance items (valve adj, plugs, brake lines change, radiator fluid, hoses, etc) are way too conservative, or way too lengthy, (brake fluid, oil, oil filter, shaft oil, fork oil, throttle body sync. etc).BaldKnob said:And the Collective's information is saying that is way too conservative.
Hi Tabasco, what's your expectation of a change interval for these? I would love something like the Iridium plugs in my Accord that have something north of 100KAfter reading a bit about the claims of '2DaMax' and the NGK plugs, I was like what the heck. I tracked them down and bought the NGK G-Power CPR8EAGP-9 from Japan. (that was kind of a pain, they don't sell them in the USA)
If you have any questions Ill be happy to tell you what I know............

TABASCO, where did you buy these in Japan? I'm in Japan and can't find them. Thanks.After reading a bit about the claims of '2DaMax' and the NGK plugs, I was like what the heck. I tracked them down and bought the NGK G-Power CPR8EAGP-9 from Japan. (that was kind of a pain, they don't sell them in the USA) I was in the middle of a valve check and threw in the new plugs. Knowing they will make no 'real' difference I had NO expectations. I don't want to embellish or gloat my feelings about the difference in the performance of the new plugs. I will only say, these plugs ADDED a noticeable performance to the bike I would agree on how 2DaMax describes what he felt, and then add, with the other mods to my bike the difference is better (to me) than what 2DaMax has described. I do like them, and would suggest them to other owners.
FYI, to the forum. I didn't really know this was a "thing". But evidently FAKE performance spark plugs are a "thing". They are being knocked off more and more. They have these plugs on eBay for about the cheapest price. These are probably fake. FYI.......... If you have interest in buying them, do your home work and buy them from someone reputable....
I don't sell them... I bought them from: www. Japan spark plugs.com

Didn't believe you before, just have never heard of a gain like this for a plug. But you now have corroborating testimony so dang I'm gonna have to try these. I'm overdue for a SE Asia trip anyway so now I have another reason (excuse).Thanks Tabasco for confirming on the CPR8EAGP-9 Platinum plugs performance. Some think I was on some kind of weed. haha. Cheers!
