The NGK guys themselves show you how to gap the Iridiums in this video. Obviously it can be done.

Great find octopus! That video helped a lot. So I guess the answer is: normally the spark plug is gapped for the application its meant for from the factory, however you should check it to make sure, and if it doesnt have the proper gap (.035 inches for buells), you set the gap using a "wire style gapping tool". The mistake I made was using the old disc style gapping tool to open the gap. I'm going to go pick up one of those wire style tools today!

FYI, the DCPR9EIX plugs are stock in some Aprilia and Ducs, if you have a dealer nearby, you should be able to pick them up.

You can get a gap checker for 99 cents at almost any autoparts store or walmart

Just a quick note on the NGK's Iridiums... I spoke to the support folks at NGK... They informed me that they are set at the factory and should not be Gapped... Mine out the box were set .035...

This is the tool! Spark Plug Gapping Tool

Mine were not set at .035, but you can gap them without ever touching the electrode tip with the proper tool.

Check gaps at the counter and keep swapping until you get a set that is properly gapped - then pay for them.

The $1 circular gapping tool they sell at Advance Autoparts worked for me...
