    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

E3 spark plugs

Just a question, has anyone tried the E3 plugs in your bike yet? I used to run the Split fires and really like them, now can't get them anymore. Been using the stock NGKs, no problems, was just curious about the E3s.
 
I don't know what E3 plugs are, but plugs are plugs. Splitfire and other exotic stuff is not necessary. I'd just stick with NGKs.
 
some VWs had a pricy multi electrode plug
I think they made some performance difference but assume that the ignition was optimized for theuir usage
 
No performance enhancements, or longevity improvement, etc... But if you want to pay the premium price, the good news is that they won't hurt, either.
 
Hot Rod magazine did a test on various spark plugs a few years ago. The E3 was the worst performer.
 
Fancy spark plugs are nothing but snake oil, bunkum, horse puckey, hokum, flimflam, bamboozle, and plain old bullspit.

The reason you can't find Splitfire plugs any more is that they were a scam -- they got prosecuted out of existence for making false claims. There's a sucker born every minute, so goofy-looking spark plug scams will always be with us.

Hit the auto parts store (not the motorcycle shoppe -- they charge 2X to 3X as much) for a fresh set of the stock NGKs every so often and find something more productive to think about.

Spend the money you save on gas and tires and ride more... :cool:

Like I said, was just curious about them. I change my plugs once a year as it is.
