I run the CR9EIX plugs as well...I noticed a tiny difference when I first jump on the throttle (which isnt all that often) but with my stock plugs there was a tiny lag in throttle response. I find these plugs have helped with that slightly. Its still there a bit for me, but just ever so mildly now.

Basically if you somehow live in a perfect world where you don't have to brake or accelerate you should get 60 mpg....This is how I read your post :) This should include more factors than just braking/accelerating. As every riders riding style is as different as their respective body types and...

My solution for a rear stand is 2 jack stands and a large diameter piece of rebar through the rear axle. Solution is not a fancy one, but it is very functional. :) I should take a picture

I am 31, bought it for my 29th birthday.

PICS???

This is why I NEVER ride in the rain---that is unless I have to :)

I never touched mine until over the 10K mark--which is where I am at now. I changed them. Not sure if it is "really" necessary to clean at 4k, but that is your prerogative. :) Not much help there I guess, but my bike seemed fine even at the 10k mark with the plugs I pulled out of the bike.

Hopefully I did the right thing but I installed NGK CR9EIX Iridium IX Spark Plugs. I paid like $7 a plug--if memory serves

So which is better??? Two Brothers Juice Box or Power Commander V

Guess I;ll have to get a PCV or JB

So I should have asked Santa for a JB or PCV? Eff

No I dont have a PCV my bike is basically all stock minus the fender eliminator and headlight updgrade. Electrodes seam to be fine on the old plugs just blackened...Any ideas on what I should do to lean her out?

Just passed 10K on my 2011. Bought mine from the dealer w/ 800 miles August 2011

So I just rolled over 10K on ye olde odometer and I figured I had better change my spark plugs. So I did and these are them The numbers correspond to the cylinder they were removed from looking at the bike as pictured here. Pretty dark I'd say and probably should have done them sooner--c'est...
