The Vstrom has Iridium plugs in it now. They don't make that big a difference in the way it runs(this bike anyway) but the advantage is the fact that they last so long. Probably never need plugs again for the bike. That is why modern cages have Iridium plugs, no tune ups for years and they just run great. The Iridium tips of the electrodes do not burn off or get munged up like a standard plug.
Had a 96 Ranger with a four banger and 8 plug head. Over 100,000 miles and never missed a beat.
