I've used iridium plugs for a while... I don't think they have any performance impact at all but they're good with bad mixtures (a blessing for me, since I do so many jetting mods it's often not quite right) and give better starting in the cold and damp. Also, they last ages, mine are about 12000 miles old, I swapped in another pair and couldn't tell any difference so I swapped back...
I used Osram Nightbreakers for bulbs, now those are damn good. The SV likes brighter bulbs...

I dont know if its just a phycological thing becuase of put something in but it feels a lot smoother.
My xenon bulbs i got off of ebay the real ones becuase there is some cheap copies around.... but they really are good i get people flashing me coming the other way now thinking that there still on full beam.... i know its probably a pain to them but i'd rather be a pain and them knowing im there than not lol!! |

Perhaps it is more a question of riders vision then? In which case if peoples vision is that poor, then maybe they should not be driving at night! |
