I am new to this Buell site - cool stuff!! I have a 03 Firebolt XB9R with the race kit. I need to replace the plugs and thought that someone on the sight may have a good idea what are the best plugs. Thanks in advance for your help.

Stick to the stock plugs from the dealer.  every time I have put anything but stock plugs in any Buell it has been a comeback.  Anything from missing at idle, pinging, hesitation, you name it.  My advice is stick to stock.  I have the same bike with a race kit and run stock plugs.  Only thing is I change plugs every 5000 miles just because they are cheap.

BPG is right on, the downsides of fancy plugs outweigh the possible claimed gains. Welcome to Buellxb.com!

Thanks guys, I will stick with the stock plugs.  Just double-checking the number, 10R12A, correct?

ok folks, After 3plus years of kicking buell tires, I just purchased a '07 Black XB12R. She is pretty however, whats with the rear license plate? Any1 know of a trick kit? Also ........ What would you recommend for performance upgrades? I would think that the ppl on this site know what works and what products I should stay away from. Thanks folks, I am proud to ride my American Sportbike......... SGT. Todd Heimer

I have an 08 XB12R. Just did my 1000k service myself and went with NGK Plugs. Have never been a big fan of Champion Plugs. My bike is stock and it is not recomended until 10,000k. So far haven't noticed any difference with the performance. If I new what a bitch it was going to be changing them out, I would have waited until 10,000k.
