    Cheapest place to buy Spark plugs

    My bike is backfiring and all sorts, I am pretty sure the plugs are well overdue replacment.

    WHere is the cheepest place for plugs in Auckland. WHat about those iridium thingies are they worth it?

    The place with the highest turn over will be able to offer the best discounts....Repco,Supercheap? As a trade buyer I find Western Toyota sell me Denso's at a cheaper price than I can get NGK or Bosch anywhere else...as a retail buyer you can try them.Only get iridium if they are really hard to get to and you don't want to replace them again soon,that's all they do...last longer.

    I heard Appco are the cheapest, but none of them had the right plug for the NSR and I saw Colemans have a stack back there, so maybe they might be worth a shot.

    If you know someone in aussie, get them to get them for you. They generally get four for the price we can get 1 for. As for the back firing - It could be because of plugs, but it'll probably caused by something else. The bikes not running extra rich, or got high octane fuel in there? My bike used to backfire a lot, then I went back to 91, and it ran perfectly.

    Yep, that'll be it , the blurdy something else. That something else causes more problems with bike mechanicals than anything I know of. I wish the manufacturers would stop fitting them. Whenever I have have a problem and think I've fixed it, nine times out of ten it turns out to be the something else.

    Well got the plugs today, rang round cheapest was Cyclespot in BP road. $6 each.

    So fitted them and hey felt a bit more responsive but still not running quite right, yes the problem is "something else".

    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
