Hi there....lots of great info from this site but I need more
I'm going to replace my spark plugs. Since I have a 2008 ST1300 and NGK recommends the standard plug only, ( i have standard Denso in it now) is there anyone on here with the same vintage bike that are using iridiums with no issues? Since the standard plugs are CR7EH-9 , would the iridium be CR7EHIX-9 ? Some sites call for the CR9EH-9 and CR9EHIX-9 for my bike? I have the Denso U22FER-9 which is the same as the NGK CR7EH-9
What's the purpose of the inner black cowls? Are they to direct air to cool the engine? I'd like to drill a few holes in them to help with the heat dissipation in the summer time. (i haven't experienced a summer with the bike yet either, just trying to get prepared) Some have made large holes in them and some have removed them. What's the feeling on that?
thanks
