What doesn't matter much to a car... matters a lot to a small scooter engine.... fuel quality, spark plugs, battery size, tires, even the weight of the rider!  Before, I was a sceptic that all gasoline brands are the same as long as you get the right octane... However, after making lots of experiments on different gasoline brands, I found out that each perform differently from each other in my scooter...  One may not see a big difference between copper and iridium plugs in a car but a big difference in a scooter...


How true, with my TNG I could never use gas from SA because it would always gum up the carb real bad. Have not used any in the DT either , not worth the risk of maybe clogging the EFI jets.

I just replaced my stock plug with the Iridium, major difference on the Kymco. Smooth idle and acceleration so far.
A bigger difference than on my old Piaggio MP3.
Well worth it.  I found them at www.sparkplugauto.com for $5.66 for a CR7EIX + delivery. very good deal.
This cheapest price I could find. I just order 2 today.

I only have 200 miles on the bike so it's the plug a new bike with new plug that is the onkly change I made and what a difference.

Are you sure it wasn't just putting in a new plug that made the difference?  I am not saying it didn't, but if the original was old, just putting in a fresh plug can make a big difference.

I can tell when my Zuma needs a new plug by how well it accelerates off of idle.

i think it is the plug. I just replaced mine a few days ago and the old one was really black after only 350 miles on it. The perfomance of the new plug is a lot better then the standard plug.

   If your plug was real black, you need a tune up, talk to a mechanic,  your new plug will get black too,.

Haha I like this price-differences around the world... You paid 5,66USD for a plug. In Hungary, the cheapest price was 23USD for the same item :o :o... If somebody can tell me why, I pay a beer...

In the Philippines, around 12-13 U.S. Dollars...   Lots of factors dictate prices Sir... Taxes, middle men, premium on fad, supply and demand...etc.
