Well i haven't done much to my 600 except put a Delkevic can on it,i just wanted to known if they do make any difference to the bike ?but is it really that much of a pain to get to the plugs,does the tank have to be lifted to access them (waiting for my Haynes manual to turn up!),they look deep similar to my 900 Diversion but they are quite easy to get at!!So there is a benefit of them,in the long term i could be saving myself about £40 if they last 18,000 miles! Well, I'll save have some pennies & invest in some iridium plugs, While i'm on the subject,what is the difference between Red & Black plug caps please???Cheers Ray
I thought Iridium plugs lasted about 4 times longer(?), therefore saving money in the longer term.Besides, from what I can see on ebay the prices between sets of standard & Iridium plugs are fairly similar
Well as I have a right wrist with a severe case of turrets syndrome I had to replace my last IR's after 8k miles... and yes I have replaced them with IR's again as they give a nice even burn and they are more responsive to fuel/wrist action... IMO! oh and im using 9's and run on 97 RON fuel.

As they're nowhere near 3 times as expensive, that seems a tad silly
