Spark Plug: Denso Iridium
Heat Range: 8
Duration: 12months 2000miles -
Plug gap: approx 0.8 - 1mm
Last checked: every 2months for tightness and condition
Price: approx 2000yen each
Comments: V.Good. Though they come with a tight gap and making them wider is tricky as the tip is very easy to damage. Have used the NGK Iriway 8 version.. difficult to say which is better.
