Ok. I've updated the spark plug reference a bit. I'll add more as I find it. Let me know if you have any additions etc.

Absolutely you are right with your argumentation. I can say from myself I before I go in the mountains drive other sparkplug takes, with a higher warm value.

 "best" as in better quality? "Best" as in improved performance?

The list provides the different manufacturer's plugs which will fit the drifter. Probably, the same "heat range" as the oem. Folks have opinions concerning which manufacturer has the "best" quality plug.

I've had to use hotter plugs when I modified bikes. I've had to use colder plugs to deal with some issues on other bikes. I haven't done anything to the drifter that has required either of these, so the plugs recommended by the mfg'r have been fine. The oem plugs are good quality as well.

I looked at the expensive plugs that are supposed to improve performance... I never saw any improvement (dyno) - but some folks indicate they "feel" a difference. There isn't that much money involved, so there is no reason not to try the various "performance" plugs to see if they make a difference on your machine. IMHO.

OK, so the list has 20,000 options, but none of them are explained.  Or all those all basically the same plug (heat range) by different manufacturers?

Now why didn't I think of looking there?

Thanks!

Not really. There are "hotter", or "colder" plugs  but the oem's work fine. I've read a lot about some of the "premium" plugs but nothing improved performance significantly.

There is a plug reference in the mods/tips on the web site, under reference... here's the direct link to that page.

So, whats the best sparkplugs for our bikes?

I know OEM works, but there's got to be a better choice?
