I recently asked advice on changing the dreaded spark plug,my local stealer wanted $50 labor + the plug,
what the heck I'm retired I have lots of time,so with manuel in hand I gave it a go,it was EASY the hardest part was reconnecting the battery,finally got that done only to find the battery flat,it was just about shot anyway,the good news from all this,My local BI-MART had a sale on M/C batterys,I found one to fit my Savage
for $19.95 ,works like a charm.
so remember, when all else fails read the instruction book. Mick

Dumb question. (I'm a bit out of the loop, tech-wise.)
What is the big advantage of the Iridium Plug that I keep hearing about? I know platinums supposedly last longer, but what about the IR plugs? Better light-off? Less detonation? Makes it easier to get low-interest loans when purchasing a house?
If so, I'M IN!!!!

Cool! I should've been more precise in my wording, I meant less pinging/knocking type of detonation. I checked with NGK, and they offered nothing in the Low-Interest Morgage department, but I still wanna try one of those IR plugs. Thanks for the advice!
