I'm aware which type and all is correct to use.  Just wondering what you guys use on the -1.

Go with the traditional NGK (CR8EH-9) or the NGK "IX Iridium" (CR8EHIX-9) ? 
I'm thinking the extra 4 bucks would be worth the Iridiums.



v.s.



Thoughts/experience?

I tried the iridiums and was not pleased with the result. I seemed to have had more hard starting problems with them in than with the CR8EH-9's. Just MHO but I won't try them again.

Hi all.
With my spark plug choice,I found the irdium NGK CR8EHIX-9 helped my -1 to run slightly smoother and that was after swapping new standard CR8EH-9 as a comparision,of course this is only the result that I found with mine! Others may differ? Undecided

Maybe the iridium is good in the wet of the U.K. but not the icy cold of the northern colonies.  Grin

Iridium park plugs are great for bigger bikes that need a stronger spark and more power to start them the cb-1 doesn't need them save your money

locally i can buy the CR8EH-9 NGK for 9euros/each.

I thought they were expensive and bought the irridium ones from internet at the same price postage included.The irridium were more expensive locally

I chose moneywise,didnt notice any performance difference
