about the OWS iridium spark plug, i heard from my mech dat he had some S4s which had to overhaul cos the tip fell into the combustion chamber and melted there.

 

and got once he show me a freshly taken out OWS spark plug from a S4 which the metal before the tip had became loose. any more stress to it would cause it to come loose. heng the fella took his ride to the mech for a complete servicing before going on his touring trip

 

Tis is serious.... Might as well get the normal original Japan NGK plug....

Use only trusted brand NGK or Denso.. Bought mine for $58 for 4 nos. NGK IX Iridium at shop right opposite Regina (Jln Besar) $15 each.. Dun remember the name of the shop. Bos quite helpful and friendly...

 

Go to BAN HONG LEONG its before Regina (Jln Besar)...... The shop is just after the traffic junction on your left side...

 

I will post over the details once i got it....

 

The shop sells all original items.... But must DIY..... They just sell the items only...

Well, can you point out one company that says their product "Sucks!!!" Big time!!

 

Perhaps only M$, when they are selling WinXP to Win95 users follows by Vista to WinXP users.

You can take the answer as yes...IMHO. There will always be tell tale sign that a plug is about to go..like running on three cyclinder instead of four. Hardly is a case that a bike can't start because of bad plugs..which normally its too wet and this has to do with the carbs. If a plug don't fire well..it has to be the spark plug cable or the step-up coil. If you are the enconormical type..you can even take out the plug once a year..have it clean and the electrode bend to correct gauge gap and reuse...unless, the electrode and core are worn out of form.

 

When I first used my standard NGK for the PB1...it was a long lasting two years over...no problem...performance and all as usual and I don't ride gentle. I change to iridium when it came out because the specification shows that it's tougher and stronger and provide better sparking due to its thing tips...still using theml date.

 

we have to understand that the plug is only managing a 100 cc engine for each and it can handle better for today engine design has come a long way.

 

Again...opinion may differ..and I do know of ppl changing plugs every three months or every tthree oil change....sighhh.

The OWS plug L-shaped metals are known to be burn off or break off. Can't really trust their plugs. Denso or NGK is still more reliable.

 

What do u think your mech will say?

Someone came to me for grounding three days ago and shoed me a spark plug that broke into two at the ceramic joint!...mannn!..was real shock that such a 'quality' product thing can happened. 3 weeks ago, a friend mototiam just terminated his deal for promoting its range of products after two incident of spark plugs breaking into half and gotten stuck in the plug holes. Careful guys..could be a batch that gotten thru quality control or is it not living up to it. In my 35 yrs of motoring..its the first time I heard and seen! Yes, better to be safe with the old master..NGK..and Denso.

Stupid Hurts!.:giddy:Speed doesn't kill, mistakes does :faint:

BEER!...it's cheaper than fuel now! DRINK!..DON'T RIDE!

Guys, anyone interested in a set of 4 lightly used Denso Iridium Spark Plugs for Super 4?

 

http://www.singaporebikes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=228096

 

Anyway, Denso or NGK Iridium still the best! Trust Japanese products... hehe...

 

Huh?..why you selling such excellent plugs?..your bike now runs on electric battery meh?....LOL! How much is it going for?

Since it is the normal ones, there isn't going to be any difference in the 2 brand as to which is better. Personal preference is Denso. :angel:

Don't always believe what others said. Best to check with your mechanic. If NGK or Denso iridium plugs will spoil S4 engines, then why would they come out with such a plug in the 1st place.

 

As long as the heat range of the plugs are correct for your bike - no worries lah. :cheer:
