Fresh Paint, And That’s It, For The 2026 Honda NT1100 2026 Honda NT1100 Photo: Honda The Euros just announced a fresh coat of paint for the bike in 2026, and presumably the US will see similar options next year Europe gets Iridium Gray Metallic, Mat Warm Ash Metallic and Pearl Hawkseye Blue options; look for something along those lines coming stateside, when the updated models arrive
NGK Iridium IX vs Laser Iridium | BobIsTheOilGuy The Laser Iridium plugs have a wider center electrode, whereas the IX has a more narrow one I think that's why the Laser Iridiums last longer as well as the double precious metals, iridium on center electrode, platinum on side electrode I've had friend who bought the IX and worked well, but it's longevity AND performance that I look for
Iridium vs Ruthenium spark plugs | BobIsTheOilGuy There is little I can find about Ruthenium spark plugs, except it's the new sliced bread, better, last longer, etc etc If the Laser iridium have indeed only one iridium (or platinium + iridium) pointy electrode, I can see the Ruthenium lasting longer So, what's your take ?

Clarification on Upgrading Spark Plugs | BobIsTheOilGuy A spark is a spark, right ?

Iridium or Ruthenium plug to replace a copper plug in performance LS Yes, you can replace them with iridium or ruthenium The part numbers themselves signify being iridium ruthenium versions of the TR6 The OE Laser Iridium will last longer than iridium IX, and another good choice is Denso Iridium TT
Proper way to gap iridium plugs? | BobIsTheOilGuy What other gaps are your owners manuals recommending for Iridium plugs? Not Platinums and certainly not Coppers '08 G35 with the VQ35HR engine and the FSM calls for Iridium plugs gapped at 0 043" The plug Nissan Infiniti specs is FXE22HR11 and DENSO pre-gaps these at 0 044" Yep, 040 to 044 Waste of time to gap any thing in this range
Champion vs NGK Spark Plugs ?? Iridium | BobIsTheOilGuy NGK calls their OEM style precious metal plugs "LASER IRIDIUM" or "LASER PLATINUM" Denso calls their aftermarket plugs "IRIDIUM POWER" I believe their OEM version (with the platinum) is "IRIDIUM PLUS" However, there are a lot of vehicle manufacturers that only specify NGK, although Denso probably has an OEM-style equivalent
