    Go with stock ngk plugs. Unobtanium or whatever fancy electrode plugs make no difference and thus not worth the money

      Yup the stock NGKs work just fine. You might want to post a pic of your plugs so we can see what is going on with them. Reading how a plug is burning can speak volumes.

        Thank you both..just went ahead n got regular ngk ones,these irridium ones need a mortgage for...the ones that came out cant photo just now,but were pretty black n sooty,definitely not overheating. The old plugs were DR8ES...the new ones I sae listed for my bike were DR8ES-1..dont know if that makes a difference?!

            D8EA is all you need.
            about 2.00-2.50 bucks each give or take.
