Toying with getting some Champion Eon plugs. Anyone using them?

[mr_magicfingers]

Service time coming up and thought I'd change from the standard plugs and see if there was any difference. Searching on here came up with several threads suggesting that Champion Eon 2's were an improvement but the threads are a few years old now.

Just wondered if people are still using them or if things have moved on and there's anything else worth trying.

Thanks.

I've not tried the Eon's but I can recommend Brisk. I also have a 2000 1150 and Brisk plugs work great. I had a slight surging problem mid revs that I tried to cure it with valve and end float settings with no joy, wacked in some Brisk plug and it went away. Still going strong some 15 - 20K later. Every time I service the bike, pull them out, they still look good so I put them back in.

Their Still Great

I've recommended them over the years and still rate them highly - although its always interesting to hear if someone else notices the same improvement when they first try them. I must have done well over 100k on EON2 plugs now so the initial improvement then becomes the norm!
Give them a try.

Don't know about brisk. not tried them.. my bike doesn't surge.

but.. I do wonder. I've tried various plugs over the years.. and every one of them has been an improvement on the last. and that makes perfect sense to me. the plugs get changed at major service time. so is it the plugs. or is it the service?

IMO it's the service.

Imo it's the mind

It isn't that simple of course. All new plugs offer an improvemet - briefly.

I tried Brisk plugs on my R1100RS they were fine for the first few miles but gave up the ghost after a stop start session in London's rush hour in mid summer, Since then I have used EON 2 in all my oil heads - they seem to work all of the time in all conditions,

Currently running an R1100S with EON 2s

Regards to all,

Thanks, have gone for the Eon 2's, half the price of the Brisk.

What's the "improvement", is it a bigger, louder, faster bang

I think theres a load of Bol~**ks spoke about various plugs, a spark is a spark in my opinion, matters not whose names on the plug (within reason, I might avoid some Chinese lettering ) It's all about marketing show me some proof that my bike will do nought to 60 faster with "Fred Bloggs" plugs in and I will be at the front of the queue to buy them

Higher fuel grade gives much more improvement in horsepower than the name on the plug.

I have tried Bosch that I got from motorworks and compared them with Brisk that the bike came with, I can feel no discernible difference, I would not imagine a big relatively slow turning fourstroke motor was particularly fussy about plugs, then I saw the price of the brisk ones on ebay £13 each bloody hell, I might get my mate from California to bring me some Autolites when he comes over, I believe they are a multi electrode plug for automotive use that the septics seem to like.

Original thread

Just to save going over the same ground again here is a link to my original thread recommending EON2's. The post still include a bit more info and feedback from those who also used them so worth a read maybe?

Just to answer easyrider, there's nothing magic with these plugs but as explained in the original thread the advantage is a wide heat range,
a wider gap at 0.95mm which gives a fatter spark and a faster burn due to the single electrode rather than the shrouded multi-electrode.
At the end of the day if you think something is worth go then just try it or if you thinks its a load of blocks then just don't bother.
