New Spark Plugs

[jiott]

I suppose you have seen the latest Rotax Service Instruction announcing the new spark plugs and connectors. It appears they are Rotax branded so bye-bye the $3 NGK spark plugs we have all been using successfully for many years. I haven't seen any pricing yet, but will not be surprised if they are priced around $30 each like Lyc and Cont plugs. Seems to me like a thinly disguised attempt to cash in on the maintenance market under the pretense of an "improvement". Thankfully this is not a mandatory change, and I plan to stay with the NGK plugs.

What do you all think?

Probably this thread should be moved to the "Engine" category.
