I think that's what I said. A plug that's too hot will cause pre-ignition, which will translate to higher engine temps.

My KTM disagrees.

You should use whatever plug is spec'd for your bike. I'm not aware of any "fuel injection only" spark plugs.

Were I got my plugs...the guy was cool...even though I was buying stuff for my Buell. Up until about 5 years ago they were a Buell dealer. He said Harley took Buell away from them.


And my actual Buell dealer, who is an hour away, is awesome. One of the better Buell dealers. They have hooked me up with free service too. Really good guys. And they just built a dedicated Buell room. I gotta get out there to see it.

The customer service at my Buell/HD dealership is excellent. I can't complain a bit there, they definalty go above and beyond to help there. Just their general knowledge of Buell is lacking. In both sales and service. That is actually why my sales guy wants to get me into a service position. To help the Buell aspect of it.
