Hi everybody

Today I made a 6 hours trip with my new iridium s.p.
At idle I don't see any differente but running really I notice a more smooth and progresive throttle. For example, when changes 1st to 2nd gear or when reduces have a better feeling.
Is not a 50% as I heard someone say, I think could be a 10 or 20% maximum, but if this s.p. have a long life and make the engine to work better, it's fine to me.

The little things like this could improve our bike.
Despite I made all the service intervale oil, filter, new rear tyre, front EBC HH pads -wwwooOOOOOOoowww simply amazing-... but my veredict is:
If you can, try it at least one time and make your own conclusions.

Very expensive, but last longer. Standard fair on the Gen II. Thinking about autolites vs. NKG next time.
