EFFECT OF IRIDIUM SPARK PLUG ON MY ENGINE NGK IRIDIUM VS PLATINUM SPARK PLUG GAP, HEAT RANGE, LIFE

Iridium vs normal spark plug review, best spark plug for motorcycle, NGK IRIDIUM spark plug, NGK CPR7EAIX-9 vs NGK CR7EIX, Spark plug Gap, Heat range of spark plug
After a year of use we have the NGK Iridium spark plug review. In this video we will compare conventional nickel alloy spark plug with Iridium spark plug. The video also differentiates normal, platinum and Iridium spark plug based on their thermal and electrical conductivity. The resistance to corrosion of spark plug electrode is critical along with the heat range of the spark plug which is primarily dependent on the electrode material. Along with the technical information on different spark plugs the video shares practical experience with effect on fuel efficiency, ride, throttle response etc.

I almost forgot that I had installed NGK Iridium on my Pulsar 180 when I got the bike in 2015. Its still running really good. Even on a super cold starts, its just a second or two, the engine starts;l whereas, my friend's Pulsar 180 (Champion), takes few tries before it starts.

[@GoldnRule]

Nice bro! What is your recommended heat range?

[@sandeshjadhav8804]

Bro your channel is underrated, i dont think anyone does these time consuming tests.

[@girishpotti2242]

True review 👍 Even I found the same feedback when I used iridium spark plug in my fiero for about 4years and found very less gain in fuel efficiency and certainly it is not useful for persons if he is using the bike only for citi rides. This type of spark plug helps end users if they use the vehicle frequently on highways to maximize the iridium spark plug usages in long term.

[@ganeshbharadwajshooter1913]

I am using iridium Spark plug on my yamaha R15 version 3 bs4 it's very smooth engine with great pickup and better mileage of 50 plus 👌

[@SherKhan-b1kes]

Brilliant work Sportztourer. I bought myself a 2006 Kawasaki Z1000 with about 90,000Km‘s on her clocks. That bike had been standing for ages that there was life in the air-box. After getting everything cleaned + new gaskets, cam-chain and guides I decided to go for iridium plugs. Starts on the Milli-second and in most cases doesn’t even need choke. Highly recommended 😉

[@AnshulSingraur]

Bro I am a physicist, Researcher at Apex National Metrology Laboratory of India, currently working in a govt. department which is responsible for testing and making laws and an enthusiast with knowledge about various theoretical aspects of things. I have rarely come across any channel on KZbin which gives theoretically accurate, precise and to the point information about things they cover in their videos, and none of those channels, if any, exist in india. You're one of the best among bests of your field. Keep it up. For eg. In the case of spark plugs, smaller dimensions central electrodes create higher electrical fields necessary for discharge/spark to happen efficiently and the trade off is the material which is being evaporated at atomic level each time with the spark. So you need a material which can be as fine/small as possible and withstand all other criteria, so iridium coated electrode must have been a suitable choice for manufacturers.

[@thesportztourer]

Wow! A physicist on the channel!! I insist you check the lab test videos I do on the channel, would love to know your comments on the same. Being in the field of research and development, I enjoy sharing these observations and test result. Response from enthusiasts like you make them worth sharing.

[@vikasshelke5544]

Hands down comment

[@jecob11111]

I had bought an NGK Iridium plug many years ago for my RX135 two stroke engine. Like you said it does not make much difference in combustion quality or performance difference by any great but plug fouling which is even more common in two stroke engines due to factors like lower compression, or factors like richer mixture, or too much two stroke engine oil going into cylinder and also having double the spark cycles. Anyway, since it has thinner and seemingly longer lasting tip compared to conventional RBP7HS which is also considered to be a decent plug. I had removed that plug on thoughts like leaving the bike for service with mechanics I don’t know well. However, this plug solved the fouling problem for me, and takes the varying oil fuel air mixtures quite well over conventional plugs. Nowadays I use it only for longer rides, since it’s not widely available and more expensive. Hopefully it will last forever that way, just kidding!

[@BruceWayne-de4gm]

Bro retune your bike as I've noticed that iridium plugs burn the fuel much better than normal plugs it'll run great

[@tridip.chakraborty]

[@rohanrawal3949]

Correct there is not a major difference in performance using the same on Karizma r 2012, however what i have heard is you gotta need to change the sparkplug cable as well to get the best performance alongwith the plug

[@AnshulSingraur]

@@rohanrawal3949 no need to change the cable, these are not for improving the performance to a noticeable limit. These are for smooth start and efficient, fast burning of fuel. But the burn interval and quantity would be the same. For analogy, it's like you're spending on a good gas stove lighter, so that it can be ignited effortlessly every single time.

My suggestion based on my experience : Never change the Stock Spark plug with other Spark plug for performance or increased mileage There are way more fake BOSCH Spark plugs in market and they won't rev beyond 6k RPM and many won't last beyond a month.

If you want to change sparkplugs then buy only NGK sparkplugs. They are the most trusted and durable plugs.

Hi, do you suggest to use the cable as well when fitting the iridium spark plug? Like NGK sparkplugs come with their own kit to purchase. Some say, just changing the spark plug is enough ? Wanted to know your thoughts on this. Would appreciate it. Great content. Keep up the good work 👍
