    Was about to change the plugs on my Fireblade with iridium ones, went to youtube to watch tutorial and the boy said the iridium plugs were no good and he always uses standard plugs. Is he correct? I havent opened the package yet so could replace Thanks

    IIRC the plugs Honda supply are iridium ones. Just make sure you use quality plugs and not el-cheapo ebay ripoffs/fakes.

    PS Just having a youtube channel doesn't make someone an expert :)

    Totally agree.
    I had to change the ones in my track bike last year at around 16k due to it firing on 3. It was Iridiums that came out and a new set of the same Iridiums went back in. She's been purring ever since :)
