Another thing I noticed when I pulled the OEM plugs was the fact that the difference of the spark gap between the four of them. Belive it or not... there was a difference of nearly .003" between one and the other...  But, now I think about that... could that be planned? I mean, if one side of the cylinder burns cooler (or, the opposite of hot...) Could the difference in the gap (bigger gap cooler spark, or is it vice versa...)make a difference in efficiency?

Yeah, I've heard of the wire gauge thing too... But, I've used this disc for so long now, I can pretty much get within .0005"... I do know that I've gotten the new plugs all within that .0005" measurement and I've seen an appeciable increase in power... I've spun the tire twice from a rolling start... (although, not intentionally...  )

I put Irridium plugs in my and my buddy's bikes. They work just fine. Of course, if a copper plug is firing fine, you're not going to experience a difference.
My buddy thought his was running better, but he had more than 6k on his, and chances are it was going to need plugs by 8 anyway.
Mine didn't have 4k on it, and I could feel no difference, but then I just wanted to put them in and forget 'em for the next 10 years.
I always put some anti-seize compound on the threads too.
