    Just switched from Brisks to Pulstars. When switching from stock to Brisk I really didn't notice much of a difference. After 5,000 km on the Brisks look at the white chalky-ness buildup: https://imgur.com/F3H1CYU,QbxiTR1,RMb0PuW
    Left plug is inside, right plug is outside.

    A few hundred kms on the Pulstars and there IS a noticeable difference. Definitely improved low end, and they cost me less than the Brisks so that's good too.

    I did stock plugs, Iridium (Denso), Brisk, now Pulstars each change was an improvement

    Is there a need to have ECU reset or anything when changing to Pulstar plugs ? Disconnect battery ?

    Or just change them and ride away.

    I disconnected my battery, as I do whenever I do any work on a bike's electrical work

    I just installed the Pulstar plugs in my Terra and I can tell the engine runs smoother and has a littler better throttle response down low. Now I have no problem lifting the front wheel, before I had to word hard to get it off the ground. (Not that i'm doing wheelies all day.) :p

    Just peeked into this thread to find out what replacement spark plugs to use.
    I think I'm going back with the stockers, I've got 10,000 miles on the originals.
    The bike still runs like it always has. A bit of that lean stumble right off idle sometimes
    but I've learned to just deal with it.

    Do these pulstars require using the 16mm wrench like the brisk ones do?
    Where are you guys getting them?
    Thanks

    I ended getting the Brisks, and yet to install them. Would it be worth it to just go with the Pulstar's??

    I'm pretty happy with the Brisk plugs. There is a noticeable sound/vibe difference at cold idle--little/no more chugging.

    I was also impressed with the Brisk plugs, a noticeable improvement over the Iridium which replaced the OEMs

    The Pulstars are even better still

    PulStar je2rt8, two of them needed :) the (H2RT8 works for Honda XR-200) and they are 16 mm so same tool needed as for the Brisk.

    If you live in Europe or visiting Europe I ordered mine from http://pulstar.es/ got delivered promptly and much cheaper than transport from USA options.

    Any leads for getting hold of Pulstars in Africa (Cape Town - South Africa to be exact)?
